About the Hunting Percival Jet Provost T.3/T.4:

For most RAF pilots serving between 1960 and 1988, the Hunting Aircraft (BAC) Jet Provost is extremely familiar. Forming the backbone of RAF pilot training during this period, the Jet Provost was distinctive by its broad fuselage profile, which allowed for a relatively spacious side-by-side cockpit arrangement. This configuration enabled instructors to sit alongside students, providing better supervision and communication during training flights. The T.3 variant, introduced in 1959, featured an unpressurized cockpit and served as the standard basic jet trainer. The T.4, which followed in 1961, added a pressurized cockpit for high-altitude training. Powered by the reliable Rolls-Royce Viper turbojet engine, the Jet Provost provided student pilots with their first experience of jet flight, teaching them essential skills before progressing to more advanced aircraft. Its forgiving handling characteristics and robust construction made it an ideal training platform, and it remained in RAF service for nearly three decades.
