Yes, PT-6 powered.
No, not the Turbo Mentor.
Same PT6A-25 model of the engine.

Aviastar lists it only as NAC (NDN) Firecracker, however the airframe G-SFTA is the one of a Turbo Firecracker according to this site
Farnborough 1986

All yours RR!

May I assume that it has a canopy ?

Funny landing gear… Is it a mock-up?

Maybe the Republic's contender for the FCS (which was won by Convair)?

Or Maybe the CAC CA31 Operational Trainer mock-up?


Ach, RR bailed out…..

None, of those Reg. Not a CAC, not a Republic/Convair or a mock-up. Yes it had a cockpit as it flew! RR

I believe Bri has got it, but I still maintain that the picture is of a mock-up….
