Probably Jet Provosts mate.

Edit: As I thought - JPs;
The Royal Air Force College at Cranwell was a prominent Jet Provost operator, receiving its first Mk.3 on Match 22nd 1962. A year later Jet Provost T.4s began to arrive, and in 1971 the Mk.5, the latter replacing the Mk.4s on a one to one basis.

During the mid-1970's the RAFC began to re-equip their JP fleet with modified T.3As and T.5As, and multiple examples of each variant remained in service until the JP was withdrawn from RAFC service in 1991
