some were send to african countries under the name stikemaster

The Strikemaster was a development of the Jet Provost T. Mk 5, but is a distinct type in its own right as it had an uprated engine, a strengthened airframe with hard points on the wing, revised avionics and revised landing gear.

The FAA and JP’s

The co-operation between the RAF and the FAA continued throughout various training establishments.
My records from College of Air Warfare QFI’s have numerous flights logged with FAA aircrew returning to flying duties, carrying out their refresher flying instruction at Manby on JP3’s and 4’s.

Many Fleet Air Arm pilots learnt to fly with RAF 1FTS based at Linton-on-Ouse.
There’s a Mk.3A Provost in the FAAM’s Cobham Hall storage facility that represents this.
