Jackal Corrections
Yes I flew Hunter, Buccaneer, Tornado, Hawk, Harrier and Sea Harrier.
MFTS: Flyby wrote the Conceptual System Design which was part of the winning bid. It was just not adopted which caused some of the current issues.
The aircraft was developed jointly between Flyby Technology, FlyBVLOS Technology and Maxwell Innovations in Istanbul, now Ankara. The British element, Flyby Technology, is now preparing the aircraft for military service with UK primes. The £1.2m figure was for the 5 prototype airframes and is not an accurate indicator of eventual price. The EO sensors were not fitted for the firing because the aim of that firing was to prove release conditions were managed by the stability and augmentation system would cope. Which it can be seen it did admirably.
