Hi I am looking for some information and help with the above Aircraft "Jet Provost" Do any of you guys know where I can get some help with Dismantling The wings so we can move the Aircraft a short distance on a Low loader? maybe the wrong forum to list this but any advise would be great. Thanks KD.
Try Delta Jets - Although Hunter specialists they will more than likely have service manuals for the JP. Also www.jetprovostclub.com - There's quite a few JP operators in the UK that can help.
Description of aircraft as follows, Thanks for all the Advise though Guys!

Hi RoopThat is the very Aircraft in the background!!!
Hope you get her back into more appropriate military colours. She'd look really nice in the old silver and day-glo Training Command scheme of the 1960s.
The pictures below show XR679 at different stages in her RAF career. The top picture (unfortunately in black and white only) is the scheme I mentioned and shows her from when she was still quite new.
The middle picture is from 1982 when some T4s were allocated to No.1 Tactical Waepons Unit at RAF Brawdy.
The third pictures is her in an all grey scheme in 1988.

Thats her, Type in xr679 into Google and shes in Military colours on there! we are hoping to get her back in the skys but need her moving from Doncaster to a Hangar in Lincolnshire, with the wings off for Transport!
Whereabouts in Lincolnshire purely out of interest?There may still be some expertise in the RAF - I'll send a few e-mails when I'm in work tomorrow and see if I can turn up any contacts for you.

Fascinating thread. Are you thinking about having the ejector seats refurbished & re-activated?
A colleague of my brother owns a share of a Provost based at North Weald..Edited by benzo on Wednesday 13th August 19:45
The first thing they did was remove the ejector seat.
They didn't fancy anyone bailing out too soon, without having a proper go at landing it...
