The Meteor sits next to its German counterpart, the Me 262, which first flew eight monts earlier and was rather more advanced aerodynamically. This was the first prototype Meteor, but only the third to fly on 24 July 1943. This photo is copyright © Peter de Jong, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
