Also, Javelin, Hunter and Sea Vixen in my day. The flat-iron was good for airframe repairs (a lot of airframe!), Hunter was good for Hydraulics and, with the Avons for engine strip/rebuild. JP was nice for ground running, wing removal/rebuild, rigging and jacking (fairly safe if it went badly!). Sea Vixen was too big and complex really, did some fuel tank and component removal/refit work on them. Great days!
