The handful of JP5As were (for 6FTS only) fitted with tip tanks. This did come with a limitation that prohibited solo flying, only dual. No drama for the 6FTS role of course... apart for a Scampton trapper who ignored the advice of the ground crew at F700 time when ferrying the aircraft from Cranwell with a new display paint scheme applied.
