The target world like Gaul is divided into three parts, namely:

• Converted aircraft

• Specially developed pilotless drones

• Towed targets

and I propose talking about these three types in turn.

The only converted manned aircraft in use in the UK is the Meteor U.16. This is a conversion of the Meteor F.8. The main structural change is the extended nose which houses the necessary black boxes, e.g. Autopilot, Control Radio Receiver, Telemetry transmitter, etc. By this means the aircraft can be flown with a pilot in the cockpit in the conventional way for non-firing runs or alternatively as a safety pilot when checking out the drone system.
