I recall the Jet Provost had a radio system in that pressing either transmit switch resulted in both pilots' microphones being live.

An ATCO at Linton told me how he once heard what was obviously a JP student calling: "MAYDAY, MAYDAY....Practice MAYDAY!
Followed immediately by a QFI's voice on the same transmission saying "You f***ing idiot!"
