Re xtp's comments in #21 above, I too was lucky enough to be on the Strubby course in 1965. On 2 April I sat in the back of VW 427 from Strubby to Kemble - so we must have been in the same push. I went on to fly the target facilities Meteors on 85 Squadron until Jul 65. Looking at my logbook I see that 85 had at least 6 Meteors on strength, in addition to several Canberras. The Meteors soldiered on with 85 for at least a year or so more. However, as has been said, the tugs at Brawdy were still flying well after this.
