Target Tug Canberra

Target Tug configured BAC Canberra TT.18 WK128 from Llanbedr on short finals for RIAT Arrivals Day 23/07/1999.

 

I believe they are Rushton targets that it carries stowed under the wings. The targets are deployed from these pods where to retrieve them the prop which is shown feathered is activated to wind them back in.

 

Sadly this machine ended it's days being scrapped at Llanbedr in North Wales.
