Bonajet: Fantastic to see XE582 in a different guise, thanks.

Vampiredave: here's a couple of the Towed Target flight Meteor display:


Formation approach to runway 20.



The four F(TT)8's here are: WL180,WH810,VZ540 and WA880.
I remember the thrill (hey I was only 14!) when WL180, VZ540 and WA880 turned up, still in camouflage, at Changi in April 62. That must have been when they were first delivered to the TT Flight.


It's great to see that WA880 has survived and is at a museum in Australia.
Strangely I don't recall the Towed Target Flight actually being based at Changi until mid 1963 when the took over the slot up near the Maintenance Flight, maybe I just am getting forgetful!
