Nice!! shame theres no UK privately owned flying ones!! I really dont get the stupid CAA rules that basically ban anything fast or fun in the civil sector. Jet provost is about as good as it gets and they are not that great!!
Lots of great planes which arent kept in military historic flights will be sadly lost due to such stupid rules. Cant see any harriers, tornados, jaguars etc getting a CAA license to fly. Sure they cost shit loads to keep air worthy but theres some rich people who would do it with some of them!
