The IAF flew 35 Gloster Meteors of four different versions (T.7, F.8, FR.9 & NF.13). This aircraft was part of the Tel Nof base collection in May 1982. There is an all silver Meteor T7 in the collection of the IAF Museum at Hatzerim AFB painted with the serial number "15" which may be the same aircraft.

Tel Nof AFB was the home for the Israeli Air Force flight academy until 1966 when it moved to the newly-opened Hatzerim AFB near Beer Sheva. This Stearman was part of the Tel Nof AFB base aircraft collection in May 1982. There have been very few recent reports regarding aircraft preserved at the Tel Nof AFB. I suspect that many of the aircraft I photographed 1982 were transferred to the IAF Museum at Hatzerim, other IAF bases or scrapped.

This Noratlas was part of the Tel Nof base collection in May 1982, but later status is unknown. When the IAF Noratlas fleet was retired in the 1970s, about a dozen could be seen parked in a field on the south side of Ben Gurion Airport (TLV) to the west of the original airport terminal in the summer of 1978. These aircraft were scrapped by the summer of 1981.
