All of the ex-German aircraft were Sea Furys. The German target towing company which operated them had a fleet which comprised twin seat target tugs (about 15 of them) and, IIRC, one single seater. The tugs were ex-RN T20s, modified specially for them by Hawkers, and, IIRC again, the single seater (probably an FB11) was acquired direct from the Netherlands Navy. Wasn't the OFMC a/c the FB11?
