RAF Grob Tutor T Mark 1 Training Aircraft
A Royal Air Force Tutor training aircraft is pictured during an air display over RAF Cranwell.
The Grob 115E, known by the RAF as the Tutor, is used for Elementary Flying Training by the 14 University Air Squadrons and 12 Air Experience Flights throughout the UK. It is also used by the Central Flying School and for elementary WSO training at the RAF College Cranwell.
All of the Tutors in RAF service are entered on the UK Civil Aircraft Register and are provided by VT Group. The Tutor is constructed mainly from carbon fibre reinforced plastic, which combines high strength with light weight. Like its predecessor, the Bulldog, the Tutor has side-by-side seating but, unlike the Bulldog, the primary flight instruments are on the right-hand side of the cockpit.
This allows the student to fly the aircraft from the right-hand seat with a right-hand stick and a left-hand throttle so that future transition to fast-jet aircraft is made easier

This print showcases the RAF Grob Tutor T Mark 1 Training Aircraft soaring through the skies during an exhilarating air display over RAF Cranwell. Known as the Tutor, this remarkable aircraft is utilized for Elementary Flying Training by various University Air Squadrons and Air Experience Flights across the United Kingdom. It also serves a crucial role in elementary WSO training at the esteemed RAF College Cranwell. All of these impressive Tutors are registered on the UK Civil Aircraft Register and are provided by VT Group. Constructed primarily from carbon fibre reinforced plastic, this material ensures a perfect balance between strength and lightweight design. Similar to its predecessor, the Bulldog, this advanced aircraft features side-by-side seating arrangement; however, it distinguishes itself with primary flight instruments positioned on the right-hand side of its cockpit. This unique configuration allows aspiring pilots to operate from the right-hand seat using a right-hand stick and left-hand throttle - an invaluable feature that facilitates smoother transition into fast-jet aircraft in future endeavors. With its sleek appearance and cutting-edge technology, it's no wonder why this RAF Grob Tutor has become an indispensable asset within British military aviation training programs.
