The Jet Provost had tip-tanks too.

By that time we had lost the Empire to wishywashy tip-tank thinking.............................mumble mumble bloody Guardian readers mumble mumble.

Very true and yet strangely he had very advanced ideas about Pan European politics, what we now call the EU. He probably didn't like tip tanks either

So did Hitler.

...and the Kaiser...and Napoleon...and Frederick the Great...and Gustav Adolphus...and Charles V...and so on and so on back to Ugg and Mugg in their adjoining caves (just to name a few of the more notable ones).

So the P-51 Mustang, designed by the Brits and built by the Yanks. They put tip tanks on them . The Brits redesigned the B-17 as it was a bit drafty with those exposed holes in the fuselage and the Americans got the B-17G.
