EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Royal Navy's Armstrong Whitworth Meteor TT.20 WM292, a versatile target tug that served with distinction at RNAS Yeovilton during the 1960s. Delivered to the Royal Navy on 1 April 1953 as an NF.11, this Meteor underwent a significant transformation into a TT.20 target tug somewhere between 1957 and 1964. The Fleet Requirement and Directions Unit (FRADU) was the fortunate recipient of WM292's services after its conversion. The Meteor TT.20 WM292, with the registration number 841, is seen here in its role as a target tug, a crucial component of the Royal Navy's training program. Its primary function was to tow various types of targets behind it, allowing pilots to hone their skills in attacking moving targets. The Meteor's impressive performance and agility made it an ideal choice for this role. After a period of service with FRADU, WM292 was eventually stored by the Fleet Air Arm Museum at Cobham Hall, Yeovilton. This photograph, taken in the 1960s, captures a moment in time when the Meteor TT.20 WM292 continued to contribute to the Royal Navy's aviation legacy. The Meteor TT.20 WM292 is an intriguing aeronautical model, showcasing the engineering prowess of the era. Its sleek design, powerful engines, and versatility made it an essential asset to the Royal Navy's fleet. This photograph is a testament to the Meteor's enduring presence in the annals of aviation history.
