There was, if I recall correctly, a ‘P’ series aircraft design from either Warton or Brough (or Kingston?!!!) in the early 90s for a basic Jet Trainer. Working from (failing) memory, it resembled a straight wing Hawk.

Maybe details in one of Tony Butler’s books?

Getting warmer! 🙂

Chaps, the question is nothing to do with the turboprop types rather what might have been. There was a stage when the jet idea was dropped and the air force decided on a turboprop trainer requirement instead.

So as a pre-cursor, the type in question was perhaps from the description similar to an Alpha Jet or AMX. I must confess I haven’t heard of it before… Any ideas?

Pub quiz 😉

If I were a kid on the south coast, I would be fascinated with its form. Surely a big draw toward aviation for the young?
