Description

c/n unknown Built in 1951 as a Meteor NF.11 for the Royal Air Force with the British military serial WD646. Known to have operated with the Central Signals Establishment before she was converted to a Meteor TT.20 target tug during 1961. She then served with No.3 Civilian Anti-Aircraft Co-operation Unit (3CAACU) at Exeter and No.5 Civilian Anti-Aircraft Co-operation Unit (5CAACU) at Woodvale before being retired in December 1971 and allocated the maintenance serial 8189M.
