SkyMax 1/72 Jet Provost T.5 Red Pelicans XW290/83 Central Flying School RAF Little Rissington 1973

The RAF Central Flying School operated the Jet Provost as its primary jet training aircraft from the late 1950s through the 1980s. Based mainly at RAF Cranwell and RAF Valley, the Central Flying School used the Jet Provost to instruct qualified pilots in jet handling, formation flying, instrument procedures, and instructional techniques. The aircraft was valued for its simplicity, reliability, and forgiving handling, making it ideal for training flying instructors rather than ab initio students. Central Flying School Jet Provosts often carried distinctive red and white training markings. The type played a major role in standardizing RAF jet flying instruction and helped train generations of military flight instructors.
