Awesome - even comes with the handbooks .. I wonder if it actually runs.

My uncle used to maintain repair and test fly them.
the jet provost was mainly used for training at an raf base in lincolnshire,cant remember the name of the place but i think its just off the a17 between sleaford and newark.

Apparently it does and even comes complete with ejector seats and harnesses. I wonder how much it would take to fit them to the GTR .

Someone has asked whether he has the facility to take off so that they can fly it back to Cornwall and he replied yes

It might well run - but I doubt it is airworthy or it would be worth a hell of a lot more money - it does look in good order though 8)

it has now been withdrawn from sale sadly

Cool,

Always wanted to fly these but they got withdrawn a little while before I could as an air cadet.

There are a few in private hands, so I doubt it would be that hard to get it up to scratch.

even better ...
