I was told one could have a pleasant lunch during take off in the Falkes and Viggiees !!!
However the Tempest tug (which looked beautiful) without the winch was probably used because they had spare ones around at the time.
No doubt no one was to sad to loose the Sabre and I think the Tempests were replaced with Sea Furies (two seat) eventually.
The Furies did their spell and then got grabbed by various groups inc Boscombe and RN historic flight.
Unfortunately they then suffered a series of misfortunes when landing without the tail wheel locked so this thinned them down.
I do not know why the piston machines continued so long when there were so many Meteors available which seemed to fit the job quite well.
A clean Tempest in plain finish is quite magnificent and coupled with the Sabre howl has to be a 'must see' airshow act, except the numpties would probably want to see it changed to electric !!!
