The Vampire T11 was only used for advanced flying training. During my course about 60 hrs dual were flown in the T11 with a similar amount of solo time in clapped out Vampire V & IX's. Piston Provosts were the basic flying training aircraft at that time. I do remember a junior course at Swinderby in 1957 which came from Jet Provost basic training at Hullavinton. Eventually JP's were used for both basic and advanced flying training.
