10/31/2007. Remarks by Johan Visschedijk: "This tandem two-seat primary-basic trainer was fully aerobatic and had provisions for four pylons for external stores. It was first flown on May 26, 1977 and deregistered on May 12, 2003. Redesigned and turboprop powered the Turbo-Firecracker was entered in the competition for a new RAF trainer, eventually won by the Tucano."
