The BAC 167 Strikemaster was a jet-powered training and light attack aircraft produced by the British Aircraft Corporation as an armed development of the Hunting Jet Provost trainer, itself a jet version of the Percival Provost. It had an uprated Viper turbojet, strengthened wings with hardpoints for bombs and rockets, and a pair of machine guns in the intake lips. The first prototype flew from Warton on 26 October 1967 and the name Strikemaster was chosen in an internal competition. Most customers bought it as an advanced trainer, but it saw combat for Oman, Ecuador and Yemen. A total of 146 were built before production ended in 1983, and a few still fly privately.
