I worked on it at Brawdy - indeed it did tow targets in it's last years in the RAF before finally retiring in 1982. It still flies in civillian hands in Temora, Australia. This particular one is NOT one of the Martin Baker test aircraft by the way....
Magnificent plane. Flew also in the Belgian Airforce.

You want supermaneuverability?
Get a meteor.
Also, is this the Meteor that that one company still uses for ejection seat testing?
