G-ARCX was used by Ferranti for radar tests, ex WM261 withdrawn from use in February 1969 after less than 350 hours flying and now preserved at the Museum of Flight, East Fortune, Scotland. This is the old Matchbox Meteor NF14 with home made decals. Pretty much out of the box otherwise with all the filler this kit needs as an added extra!

Thanks for looking.

That's another unusual and attractive looking Meatbox.  Great work on knocking this old kit in to shape.  I'm glad the real thing has faired better than your other recent post, the one that was lost on the way to Biafra.

Thanks for the kind comments, it is an old kit and has a few fit issues, but I've built 9 of them now so know what to expect.

Nice job and thanks for bringing it to our attention. I had not heard of this one. Did it appear in any publication?

John

It seems to get overlooked but I seem to remember a photo in an old Air Pictorial from the 60s, but there are lots of online photos of it since being preserved.

Is that the Meteor that's on display at East Fortune? I think I saw it the on Saturday.

Yes, that's the one.
