Miles M.25 Martinet TT.1
Single engine two-seat target towing aircraft.
Originally 9 Miles Martinet target towing aircraft were ordered with Command paper 7039 for use at the Fighter School (Jachtvliegschool/Ecole de Chasse) at Koksijde airbase. All of these aircraft were delivered in 1947. Two of the aircraft were in such a bad shape that they were refused by the Belgian authorities and replaced by two other aircraft. At first the aircraft resorted under the still mysterious "Flight 600" which officially did not exist on paper but which was in fact the name of the unit which gathered all available aircraft at the early days of the creation of the Fighter School. They soldiered on until replaced by Mosquito target towing aircraft in the early fifties.
