When the RAF EFTS training was going to be privatised, EFTS trialled all the potential contractors arcraft. CSE offered the 242, and it was our favourite. Nicer handling and build than the SAH 1 and T67, and vastly superior to the Bravo (which was not a military trainer IMHO). The 242 felt like it had more than 200 horses as well.
Also, better than the Bulldog (which I have never really liked), but none of them was as good as the Chipmunk!
