EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from The Tony Lovelock Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, we witness the majestic presence of Hunting Jet Provost T.4 XP547/03, a historic aircraft of the Royal Air Force (RAF), as it graced the skies above RAF Fairford on the momentous occasion of the Royal International Air Tattoo on 18 July 1987. The Jet Provost T.4, manufactured by Hunting Percival, is a twin-engine, jet-powered, two-seat advanced trainer and light transport aircraft that first entered service with the RAF in 1958. This particular aircraft, bearing the registration number XP547/03 and the serial number PAC/W/14130, was assigned to 1 Training Wing Unit (1 TWU) at the time. The image captures the Jet Provost T.4 in its element, showcasing its sleek design and impressive capabilities. The aircraft's distinctive blue and grey camouflage scheme, adorned with the RAF roundel and unit insignia, adds to its regal appearance. The Jet Provost T.4 was a mainstay of the RAF's training fleet for several decades, and its presence at the Royal International Air Tattoo was a testament to its enduring legacy. The Royal International Air Tattoo is an annual airshow held at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, England, which showcases a diverse range of military and civilian aircraft from around the world. The event attracts aviation enthusiasts and spectators from far and wide, making it a significant event in the aviation calendar. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the rich history of the RAF and its aviation heritage. It serves as a reminder of the important role that aircraft like the Jet Provost T.4 played in shaping the future of military aviation.
