I had a nostalgic return to a Provost T1 that I flew at Tern Hill in 1961. I was being used as a marshalling trainer at the Apprentices School at the Aldergrove Maintenance Unit. In the late seventies the School was closing and the Provost was being disposed of. The knew that I was trained on them so they invited me to do its final ground runs before it went. The sound of a Leonides at 3,000 rpm +8 boost and the blue flame coming out of the exhaust was something that I never experienced again.
It now resides in a museum in Muscat.
