On conclusion of her duties as a U.14, WH876 served with the A&AEE as a B.2(mod). Although the In flight refuelling probe suggested otherwise, the IFR system was never a 'wet' system on this particular aircraft.
WH876 was one of 6 B.2s converted to U.14 drone for use by 728B Squadron at Hal Far, Malta. A peculiarity of the type was the mid-grey cockpit interior. In later life WH768 served, as a B.2(mod), with the A&AEE and Martin Baker at Chalgrove.
Dual control T.4 WJ865 spent her whole flying career with the Empire Test Pilots School (ETPS) and the Aircraft & Armament Experimental Establishment (A&AEE) and was based at both Boscombe Down and Farnborough.
The left hand side of the T.4 cockpit was, essentially, a B.2 and to make it a trainer a second set of controls was added along with another seat for the instructor on the right hand.
