Something for the Meteor fans

Recommended Posts

Driving up the M6 this week I passed a "knocked down" Meteor NF on the back of a low loader. presumably being moved between museums.

I saw that too. Maybe going to "Jet Age" at Gloucester, I'll confirm it later.

It's an NF13 - and arrived at Jet Age, Staverton yesterday.

Not assembled yet, it's parked away from the musuem buildings.

Photos of the delivery on the Facebook page.

Looks like i need to repaint the band on the back of my Meteor from yellow to what?The band looks to have black demarcation between the silver and the colour,any ideas folks?

Ian

Hiya Ian,

The band looked black to me, maybe with a silver number,...probably a racing number?

Cheers

Tony

Should be possible. They don't like people to exploit such photos commercially - so I'll check first. AND there are other subjects.

It won't be assembled before the official opening in early May. I'll be getting an Xtrakit Meteor there tomorrow.

At least that wonderful bit of film confirms one thing for me.

The Meteor code letters for 500 Squadron were indeed red and not black......

Lovely bit of nostalgia, thanks for giving us the link.

Thanks for that Selwyn. Didn't the schoolboys and the bloke hanging out of the window have a lucky spot on the low level routing?

F3 Meteor stuff is quite scarce and it is therefore probably of more interest than usual.

Here's the state of that Meteor NF13 delivered to Jet Age at Easter.

I cant get any closer as yet, but added an Xtrakit Meteor NF to my stash in preparation.

I was told today that it's a hybrid of about 6 different Meteors - and has an F8 fin.

I'll let you know when I do a walkround with my camera.
