Yves Rossy, Jetman, flies from just down the road from me. When he’s not doing this he flies for Swiss.

Another very grainy photo of a glider tow-rope. I was in the glider, but I don’t think it was a Lightning ahead of me.
No, in fact it was Tiger Moth OO-ZAC, and we were towing from Le Zoute.

Re pogno’s post:
In my post #7 above, I mentioned my flight to Gibraltar in Met 1 TG566. I certainly recorded it as a Met 1, but the fact that it was used for personnel transport (eg my flight in 1958) and that it is quoted as a C1 in the accident report of 1962 http://www.ukserials.com/losses-1962.htm
suggests that it may indeed never have become a Met 1. If so, I should update my logbook!
Anyone have any clues?

One more to add to the list of Met 1s is TG566 in which, as an ATC cadet, I flew from Lyneham to Gibraltar and back in May 1958. Unfortunately the only photo I have is of the wingtip taken from inside during the flight.
It ran off the runway taking off at Aldergrove on 19/9/1962. There is a poor photograph of the incident on http://www.ukserials.com/losses-1962.htm (scroll down to the date and click on the serial). It went to the firedump at Cosford. The fuselage was still there in 1969.

I think we agree it’s a Goéland. I simply think it might be F-BCCZ, which seems to be the only one ATI had.

I still think the last digit is “5”. Whatever, there seems to be no “19”!
N’est-ce pas?

Yes, but I seem to read, by the Cross of Lorraine on the nose, “18 juin 45”, which was the date of the celebration of De Gaulle’s 1940 speech and was the first official ceremony in Paris in the presence of le grand Charles.
