Ceylon Jet Provosts at Luton
I would agree that the Gearing book is full of errors. Anyway, thanks to several enthusiasts I have found out that XN117 did not go to Ceylon AF as 'CJ701' but was placed into open store at Luton following weapons trials and overseas evaluations and scrapped in early 1962. The deliveries of the Jet Provosts to Ceylon have never been confirmed and I am sure that there must an accurate list somewhere?
