Regrettably the dedicated "School of Refresher Flying" (utilising Jet Provosts, Varsities and Dominies) based at Manby and Strubby ceased to exist at the end of October 1973 and its pool of expertise was dispersed.

It is easy to disband a Unit like that - but it is extremely difficult to resurrect it again.

PS

I always understood that "Jetstream" stood for:-

Jet Environment Transport Student Turbomeca Random Engined Adrenalin Machine
