Where have all the JPs gone?
 

There are plenty around, even flying, just not doing many hours due Fuel / running costs / recession etc.

You could do worse than visit North Weald where there is a maintenance organisation and quite a few based...

PM if you want any more info... ;)

NoD

I think there is still one flying at Carlisle

Affirmative, one in the Newcastle area as well

There are also six or seven JPs/Strikemasters at Hawarden. Unfortunately operating costs have shot up due to the tax on avtur for non business use.

Time to spare, go by air

Didn't they all have a mainspar A/D that meant aerobatics were prohibited, thereby removing at a stroke one of the main reasons for owning/flying a JP?

"Didn't they all have a mainspar A/D that meant aerobatics were prohibited, thereby removing at a stroke one of the main reasons for owning/flying a JP?"

That was relaxed last year but with a G restriction on aero's in the interim if my memory serves me correctly.

Would love to start a JP group in Scotland if I could get enough interested punters but pretty unlikely given the credit crunch doom and gloom....

2 JP's & 1 Strikemaster based at Church Fenton.
I JP's sat rotting away at Sandtoft.

Found one!

I stopped for gas today at a small airport on the outskirts of El Paso, Texas. I saw the tail of the Varsity first, and it lead me to the Jet Provost. I suppose they're keeping each other company, in this highly un-British place! I think they're there to stay!

I've seen one in an open hangar in Paris, Texas. Doesn't look like it'll be doing much flying in the near future tho'...

I believe that there's a JP/Strikemaster at N Weald that's being worked on now and will be rolled out in the colours of a Middle East Air Force.

These two are based at Church Fenton & were taken by me at Last years RAF Waddington arrivals day on Friday;

JP MK 5;

They also have a Strikemaster painted up in desert camo with Royal Saudi Air Force markings on it which i don't yet have a photo of.

Okay, nice photos, but maybe my thread starter should have read:

Where have all the JPs FOR SALE gone?

I am hoping to hear of one/some.

XM464 in Texas !!

I last flew it from RAF Linton-on-Ouse on March 10th 1978.

Strange where these old JPs get to. And what happened to my 31 years - someone stole them? :p

JPs for sale
 

One in Pilot for £29K

JP ?
 

Is that not a single seat Hunter GA11 ?

there are JPs around for sale.

PM me if your serious.

Deltajets at Kemble have at least 2 JPs & deal with shares in JP's / Hunters. I am sure they have the expertise, knowledge & contacts.

Oops.
That's what happens when idly flick through the ads and post on implulse two days later without checking.

Hi
You can pm me for info on what is available at the moment, I run the maintenance organisation at Hawarden and we sell these aircraft.
