Historical information

The British Aircraft Corporation BAC 167 Strikemaster was developed as an advanced version of the Jet Provost T.5/T.5A, used for advanced pilot training as well as a light attack aircraft. It was developed in the United Kingdom in the early 1960s and produced until the mid-1970s. The Strikemaster was used mainly by the British Royal Air Force, but was also exported to numerous countries such as Oman, Saudi Arabia, Ecuador, and New Zealand. The aircraft took part in armed conflicts—for instance, in the civil wars in Oman during the Cold War—demonstrating excellent maneuverability and reliability in demanding combat conditions.
