Some thirty+ Metor F.8s were converted to a simple target tug configuration and redesignated "Meteor F(TT).8" The only modification was the fitting of a target towing lug under the fuselage to pull a target banner along. To facilitate target-towing for No.20 Squadron's Hunters and No.74 Squadron's Lightnings based at Tengah, Singapore in the 1960s, No.1574 Flight flew a small number of Meteors from nearby Seletar for target-towing duties, operating off the coast of Singapore until they were withdrawn from use in 1971.
