GFD Learjet 35A departing Fairford back in 2004. These perform a similar function to the Cobham Falcon 20s. Interestingly both aircraft types have wings derived from fighter designs, so can easily have underwing hard points fitted. These are of course used for target towing, electronic warfare training etc.

Similar theme to Nick, the Special Mission demonstrator at Farnborough in 1980, hence the reg N80SM.
