Brawdy JP memories
As I used to work on them at Brawdy, thought I would add few more bits of info:
We had 4 JP's in total (numbered Tail Codes 03, 04, 05, and 06) which fitted in nicely with the Meatbox tailcodes of 01 for Winston and 02 for Clemetine....
2 of the Jp's were cammo painted (03 and 04) until we lost the original 04 in a lake in 1982. Pilot was Dave McKintyre - and we presented him with the actual throttle quadrant from the wreckage as a souvenir (he still has it!!). Cause of crash was wrongly routed throttle cable on student's side during previous servicing.
Once retired, they all lived on in civvy existence. Look out for the Jet Provost Club at Sandoft airfield - that's ex-Brawdy JP 05 in it's new colours...lol
2 are in the USA, and I've lost track of one at the moment... 04 was replaced at some point, leaving Brawdy with 3 red & white Jp's and only 1 in cammo, but that was rectified in the late 80's (I have been sent a photo of 2 in cammo from after the crash year)..
