The Empire Test Pilots' School (ETPS) is established to provide The UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) with Service pilots for employment as test pilots for acceptance testing duties and for aerodynamics and systems research. The School also trains Flight Test Engineers (FTE) for QinetiQ and both pilots and FTEs from Commonwealth and other friendly nations. Graduate test pilots and FTEs may go on to contribute to Service equipment programmes as combined test team members, procurement managers, operational requirements staff or in the increasingly crucial 'intelligent customer' role in liaison with Aerospace contractors.Based at Boscombe Down, Wiltshire, the ETPS flies a wide variety of aircraft types to cover all aspects of aircraft testing, including this SEPECAT Jaguar T.2 which it has operated for a number of years.
