| rdfs:comment | - The BAC 167 Strikemaster is a British jet-powered training and light attack aircraft. It was a development of the Hunting Jet Provost trainer, itself a jet engined version of the Percival Provost, which originally flew in 1950 with a radial piston engine.
- The Strikemaster was developed from the BAC Jet Provost , which was a military trainer from the late 1950s. It recieved more powerful engines, wing hardpoints, a stronger airframe and improved navigation and communication gear. The Strikemaster first flew on 26 October 1967 with production beginning the same year. It served with a number of air forces as a trainer and attack aircraft and was well-liked for its ability to operate from a variety of airstrips. However, they were largely retired after problems with fatigue cracking were found to be too prevalent. Production ceased in 1984 with 146 examples built.

However, they were largely retired after problems with fatigue cracking were found to be too prevalent. Production ceased in 1984 with 146 examples built. While Strikemasters were largely used as trainers, they did see combat with several countries. They were used in the Dhofar Rebellion by Oman's air force, and during the 1995 Cenepa War by Ecuador. Strikemasters were also by the British "Team Viper" aerobatic display group until they disbanded in 2012.
