Brazil operated some 70 Meteors and this was the last, assembled at Parque de Aeronáutica de São Paulo with a middle fuselage that had been delivered with the original aircraft and parts from others, serialled 4399 and posted to 1st/1st GAvCa on February 1971. Later that year it was re-serialled 4460 and was delivered to Musal for preservation on 22nd April 1974, marking the last flight of a Brazilian Meteor. It was the only one to be operated in camouflage. This photo is copyright © Richard Vandervord, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
