A question comes to mind.... Why didn't they rebuild the JP? Bearing in mind that the JP gave many years of stout service to the flying club, having been converted from a piston engined trainer, I'm thinking why didn't somebody at BWoS suggest a conversion to a sexy modern turbo prop ? Piston Provost becomes jet provost, becomes PT6 - Provost. What could possibly go wrong ?
We never needed Tucano. They could've done the rebuilds at an old shipyard in Belfast.
