Pilot's helmet, vest and wooden recognition model Jet Provost. From emergency landing Jet Provost at Lelystad airport on October 14, 2000.

¨A classic jet plane fell to the ground shortly after take-off from Lelystad airport on Saturday. It skimmed past a motorcyclist and a car on the road to Harderwijk. The pilot, a Briton who used his disused military training aircraft for sightseeing flights, suffered a broken leg. His only passenger only had some neck problems.

The Briton regularly came to Lelystad with his Jet Provost in British military colours. He provoked many complaints from other pilots because he did not care about rules.”
