The Ex Mexicana Comet at Heathrow was used for apprentice training, the only towing event I recall was when the tow bar weak link went one day when it was being repositioned and without brakes or steering it rolled and rolled until gently coming to a halt without hitting anything important.
The Trident 3B at LHR was G-AWZK and it was used for towing, its now at Manchester, its history is here
Hawker Siddeley Trident G-AWZK
