| Beaufighter Target Tug pics. Here you go Daniel, thought I'd post them here rather than the Aviation Pictures section. These are all T10's (which were mainly converted TX torpedo bombers), with the exception of the one on the ground where the winch is visible on the starboard side. That one's the prototype TT. I've got loads more on other Beaus if you need them, including cutaways of Mk1 and MkVI, but the latter are a bit big to scan for posting. |

| Yes it is. Eric, they are all Target Tug Beaufighters, the third one being the prototype. The 'prop' helped to stream out the drogue cable from the winch, and/or vice versa. |

| Shut up Lucky, your damn avatar is so distracting I can't think straight. Why the reduced vertical fin and then the addition of the long vertical strake. Anyone know?
