"JET PROVOST HEAVEN" | |
| THE JET PROVOST T.4 | |
| [History of the JP4] | [Known survivors] |
| 185 T.4's were originally ordered by the RAF from
Hunting-Percival (XP547-589, XP614-642, XP661-688, XR643-681, XR697-707,
XS175-186, XS209-230), and 183 were delivered, with the last two production
aircraft XS230 and XS231 retained by the manufacturers.
Sadly, due to the majority of the type being withdrawn from RAF service before originally forecast, the number of survivors is not high. Most airframes when retired, were stripped for useable spares and then scrapped. Over 90 airframes perished in this manner. This leaves the following as known survivors at the time of writing (all
based in the United Kingdom unless otherwise indicated):- If you know of any information that is out of date, please inform me and I will make the necessary changes. |
