You could always tell when somebody had done aerobatics during a navex. After they had shut the aircraft down you could see them searching the cockpit for their maps. The number of foreign pilots trained on the Provost was quite considerable as this photo of my course shows.



This was 'A' flight' They were:
One Royal Jordanian Air Force.
Two Lebenese Air Force.
Three Royal Malaysian Air Force.
One RAF NCO remustered to GD Officer.
One RAF Eng Officer remustered to GD.
One ex National Service pilot remustered as GD. He had to forfeit his old wings and start again from scratch.
Four Direct Entry GD pilots.

'B' flight consisted of the entire pilot strength of the Ghanaian Air Force. Rumour had it that they met a sticky end on a beach when Nkrumah was overthown.
