This is rather a long shot but does anyone please have any more information on the visit of the Hunting Jet Provost in 1956 - newspaper cuttings etc?
A HUNTING Percival Jet Provost Mk 2 has completed its evaluation visit to the R.C.A.F. at Ottawa and Trenton, Ont., and is now being inspected by the U.S. Air Force and Navy in the Washington area. While in America the aircraft is being serviced by the Hunting associate company, Field Aviation Co., Ltd., of Oshawa Airport, Ont. When the machine was in Canada it was flown by a number of journalists who, it is reported, spoke well of its handling characteristics
Thanks in advance
