Technically not a part of the RAF, the Empire Test Pilots' School (ETPS) is a British training school for test pilots and flight test engineers of fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft at MoD Boscombe Down in Wiltshire, England. Its motto is "Learn to test; test to learn" and it operated this rare Beagle Bassett in the later nineties.
