They must have edited that article as there is no mention of a jet now.

I think Auntie Beeb should send it's articles here first for final proof reading. That said, much would never get printed

Indeed Ben
Turbo-prop is a jet......prop jet
What we call a jet is a pure jet but they are both types of jet
Some T/P in the fifties and sixties were labelled jet power on the livery.
The opposite of a non aviation mate of mine that reffered to Britannias Vanguards and Viscount or anything with propellers as piston engined
