It is RATO

Rocket Assisted Take Off

It would be cool to have that on the 26's

I think that is just a flight test of RATO packs. I'm pretty sure they never went into service.  

I've got a pick of a Sea Fire with RATO packs on it... That would certainly make keeping a cap on a field more intersting :rofl  but alas, this to was just a test and never saw service.
