All the prototype airframes were fully instrumented. | Prototype | Country | First Flight | Crew | | P.01 - D9591/98+04 | Germany | 14/08/74 | Paul Millett/Nils Meister | | P.02 - XX946 | Britain | 30/10/74 | Paul Millett/Pietro Trevisan | | P.03 - XX947 | Britain | 05/08/75 | David Eagles/Tim Ferguson | | P.04 - D9592/98+05 | Germany | 02/09/75 | Hans Friedrich Rammensee/Nils Meister | | P.05 - X586/MM586 | Italy | 05/12/75 | Pietro Trevisan/--- | | P.06 - XX948 | Britain | 19/12/75 | David Eagles/--- | | P.07 - 98+06 | Germany | 30/03/76 | Nils Meister/Fritz Eckert | | P.08 - XX950 | Britain | 15/07/76 | Paul Millett/Ray Woolett | | P.09 - X-587/MM587 | Italy | 05/02/77 | Pietro Trevisan/Manlio Quarantelli | | P.10 - | Britain | Never Flew | --- |
ADV Prototypes
Britain produced 3 ADV prototypes under the designation F2, ZA254, ZA267 and ZA283. The first to fly, ZA254 did so on 27th October 1979 in the hands of David Eagles. A total of 18 F2s were subsequently ordered, but during production a newer version of the RB199 power plant was produced. This newer version incorporated a longer jet-pipe which gave a significant increase in thrust. This engine was designated the RB199-34R Mk 104. The first six F2s were trainers, designated F2T. The new engine being about 14" longer than the Mk 103 required an airframe modification before they could be installed. ZA267 was the first airframe to fly utilising the new engines and in doing so really became the F3 prototype. | Prototype | First Flight | Crew | | A.01 - ZA254 | 09/08/79 | David Eagles/Roy Kenward | | A.02 - ZA267 | 18/07/80 | Paul Millett/Roy Kenward | | A.03 - ZA283 | 18/11/80 | Peter Gordon-Johnson/Leslie Hurst |
