Has anyone realised they're missing yet? How long will it be before Euorfighter (intact) appears on this site?

Sorry, but necessary to remove links for anything to sell on PPRuNe. A bit amusing though

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!

Or this one....

Happy New Year

What was special about the JPs for HRH anyone?

Special JPs?
 

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

Royal Differences
 

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:

such wit you guys but the question was meant to be serious. I especcially like yours STH

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

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

I have found another link here which also shows a JP used by HRH.
