Just found this, Kyt, so perhaps there were only three Harrows converted and one HP51?

Yes, they are Harrows

Quote:

where did you find a picture of two of the Harrows converted for air-to-air refuelling (worked out what the writing on the wing is!).

The pic was from 1000aircraftphotos.com Uncaptioned apart from the aircraft type, but I knew the Harrow was one of the types used by Alan Cobham' "Flight Refuelling" development company, so I assumed these were what they were.

Anyone know what this machine I snapped over Leicestershire is?
One of the most elegant flying things I've ever seen, amazingly slow compared to the spit/mustang etc.

Cheers David, I'd just this second switched my brain on and looked up the registration... duh.

I see people have been known to jump out of that very aircraft with one of those parachute things.
