They're only about 60 miles from home, by my reckoning. Any Leics or Lincs plod in the house? You won't find an easier 'detected' :E
What happened to the two Jet Provosts that were specially built for Prince Charles? They were stored at Cranwell. They probably do not have more than a couple of hundred hours total unless they were re-converted for line service. Perhaps they will appear on e-bay!

What was special about the JPs for HRH anyone?

The JPs concerned were well ahead of their time. Specifically, HRH's jets (the Mk VIs I believe) had a small hydraulic hatch in the top of the nose cone that opened as the nose wheel came under pressure (usually on landing!) and pushed up a small flag with the Royal Crest on it.
Also, the main tyres were solid (rather than gas filled) so that they would be invulnerable to unexpected attacks by Bull Terriors!
:D :D :D
I'll get me coat!:O
Sorry, I meant 'terrier' ... I'll get me hat and gloves!:O
I thought that the JP's in question had a tarmac grabbing arrestor hook for use when a pilot made a landing halfway down the runway with a very strong tailwind.
Apparently, it was very good, and it was thought that it had been implemented on the BAe146 fleet.:ouch:

They had a Volume Control rather than a Throttle Control. ;) ;)

Seems the JP HRH used (XW323) is now at the RAF museum, Hendon.

I have found another link here (http://www.motorcities.com/contents/99KAB442725799.html) which also shows a JP used by HRH.
