Jet Provost T.3 XN469 at Linton on Ouse airfield.
On 19th January 1962 Jet Provost XN469, of No.1 Flying Training School, had a Cat.3R damage assessment made against it. The unit was based at Linton on Ouse and any damage probably occurred there.
Pilot - Name unknown.
Jet Provost XN469 was built to contract KC/E/031 by Hunting Percival Ltd. at Luton and was awaiting collection on 27th September 1960. On 3rd October 1960 it went to 27 MU at Shawbury and on 8th
November 1960 it was taken on charge by No.1 Flying Training School at Linton on Ouse. A Cat.3R damage assessment was made against it on 19th January 1962 but what caused it is not known. It was repaired on
site and was returned to No.1 F.T.S. charge once servicable. On 23rd June 1970 it suffered engine failure and was force landed on the disused airfield at Eastmoor. Cat.4R damage was the damage assessment.
It must have been taken away by lorry and a repair considered because it took until 14th August 1970 for the damage assessment to be upgraded to Re.Cat.5c. It was then sent to Catterick Fire School on
21st September 1970. Presumably it ended its days being set on fire and used by fire crews to practice on.
