A photo from my late fathers collection. On the back it has 'The Boss' This is the squadron commanders aircraft from 60 Squadron RAF based at Tengah in Singapore. My father was a pilot on the squadron and this was the last front line squadron in the RAF flying the Meteor. The last operational flight in the RAF on the Meteor was on 17 Aug 1961 with the last ever flight by a front line Meteor the next day 18 Aug 1981 when my father flew solo taking WS785 the short hop from Tengah to Seletar for scrapping.

Originally an NF11 until converted to TT20 in 1/61, being operated by A&AEE Boscombe Down and later by Flight Refuelling Ltd until 1975 when it was purchased by Doug Arnold. It was subsequently returned to NF11 configuration and was eventually registered as G-LOSM on 8 June 1984 with Brencham at Hurn. It became part of the Air Atlantic Historic Flight at Coventry, and was a regular performer at air displays. It was sold on the demise of Airbase in 2018, and delivered to Bruntingthorpe in early 2019 where it is intended to be kept in taxiable condition.

Another highlight of the Koksijde show in 1987, this Armée de l'Air (French Air Force) Centre d'Essais en Vol (CEV, Flight Test Center) Gloster Meteor NF11. The aircraft, which was built by Armstrong Whitworth in 1953 and delivered to the RAF as WM298 was directly transferred to France and flown on test work with the CEV as NF11-3. It was used - among other tests - as a ram-jet test bed and was retired late 1987. The Meteor can still be enjoyed as it is preserved in the Brussels museum.

The Ferranti Flying Unit based at Edinburgh Airport used this night-fighter Meteor, which was ex WM261, between 1960 and 1973 to test radar equipment and to transport company personnel. The paint scheme of white with a red stripe led to the aircraft being nicknamed 'Mentadent' after the brand of toothpaste.
