:: The Provost was always armable from the outset, but it had to be requested by the customer, or became standard on the later models. AFAIK, all the RAF Provosts were unarmed. There was a version from the outset called the 'Armed Provost', even before the Strikemaster, although I don't think any were built. This was to have the built-in MGs of the Strikemaster, rather than the hardpoint pods, but it didn't have the Strikemaster wing and the heavier capacity. Arming the Provost was mostly useful for ground attack training, or potentially counter insurgency (ie some junior officer wanting to be the people's republic's top banana). As the RAF had little interest in either, they used it purely as a trainer. Weapons training would have been in a Hunter, later a Jaguar T2.
