Delivered 1969 and served with 2 OCU, 77 Sqdn and 76 Sqdn. Painted in a special scheme to commemorate the 50th anniversary of 76 Sqdn and the 25th year of RAAF Macchi operation in 1992. However as it emerged fatigue issues were noted and it was grounded, the paint scheme being repeated on another MB.326. As can be seen, the 25 year making was later updated to 34

A flyable Meteor painted as A77-851 which was an F.8 named 'Halestorm' that shot down a MiG-15 during the Korean War. That was later converted to a U.21A and scrapped although the nose was preserved. VH-MBX was flying with the Temora Aviation Museum until at least 2018 and is in fact ex VZ467 which was the last Meteor F.8 in RAF service (till 1982 as a target tug), named 'Winston'
