Now that the Tutors are operating from Wittering the tortured sound of an AEI-360 in continuous fully fine pitch offends my senses. The increased fuel burn and engine wear is costing the RAF a lot of money (out of my tax payments). I operate a Skybolt fitted with, essentially, the same power plant and a reduction to 2500rpm/25" after takeoff and for aerobatics is SOP if only to reduce the noise nuisance with 2200rpm/22" in the cruise. As for the "one power lever" argument, what about all the turbo prop RAF aircraft.
