Unusual engines on this Meteor, anyone know why? Unsure of the source of the photo so I am unable to credit but I assume it was a promotional photo.

Looks like a turbo prop test bed probably the Trent engine.

Whoops beaten by a minute :)

Classic Air Force's lovely Meteor T7 WA591 has been sold stateside. Not a complete surprise really since Classic Air Force's recent troubles & the state of play with classic jets since Shoreham but still a real loss for the UK airshow scene. At least the aircraft will continue to fly -

Seen here at the Duxford Jubilee Air Show, May 2012

"World Heritage Air Museum

Announcement time! One of our benefactors just acquired this amazing T7 Gloster Meteor, and will be bringing her State-side asap. She is the second oldest flying jet in the world, and the oldest flying jet trainer. She was just recently restored, and she is immaculate! Who wants to see a Meteor fly in the states again? "

Memories.... aaah....

I was at Binbrook when 85 sqdn had 'Meatboxes'.

And the most distinctive memory? A pair coming back from whatever they had been doing and doing a 'run and break' over the airfield. Nothing else ever sounded like that!

WA669 at North Weald in 1984. I'm sure I have one of WA662 or one in the same colour scheme taken using Kodachrome 25, a very unforgiving film with a tolerance of half a stop!
