Wasn't it the case that FEAF target facilities Meteors weren't replaced by anything? FEAF was in the process of being disbanded when 1574 Flight folded, and when 74 Sqn wrapped up in 1971 there was no further need. I doubt if they were ever replaced by Canberra but, if FEAF had survived, then I very much suspect that would have been the plan, especially as 361 Sqn was due with Canberra T17s? 1574 Flight to be re-equipped with TT18's or a flight of TT18's attached to 361 Sqn was the most probable future had the withdrawal from East of Suez not happened.
