dH Hornet target tugs
Hi,
I understand that a number of de Havilland Hornets had towing assemblies fitted so they could tow target banners or RFD Winged Targets. I have seen photos of at least 3 aircraft with them fitted. Two of them are F.4s (PX293 and PX299) and one a F.3 (PX367). The two F.4s were converted from F.3 by Airwork at Gatwick. I'm wondering if the fitting of the tow assemblies was done at the same time. I have a list of 11 F.3s that were converted by Airwork into F.4s. Would anyone know if all these Hornets were fitted with the tow assembly? PX291, 293, 296, 299, 301, 304, 329, 334, 337, 346 and 362. Also was this tow assembly the same as that fitted to the Mosquito?
Any help appreciated.
