Brazil ordered 60 Meteor F.8s and 10 two seat Meteor T.7s in 1952, the first entering service the following year. Operating with 1°/1°GAvCa and 2°/1°GAvCa at Santa Cruz and 1°/14° GAV at Canaos, most were withdrawn by 1968 but the type finally bowed out in 1971. 4452 has been displayed outside CINDACTA 11, Air Traffic Control Centre at Bacacheri since the late 1980s.

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.

My late father started his advanced flying training on 25 February 1953 with 203 AFS based at RAF Driffield in Yorkshire. He was on a solo flight, exercise 14 which was for aerobatics according to his flight log. He was assigned Meteor IV VT240 code O-25. On completing the sortie he was cleared to land. On landing before he had cleared the runway there was a big bang and he ended up on the grass. On running clear and looking back he saw he had been hit by Meteor T7 WL413 which took off his tail. WL413 was delivered on 24 Jul 1952. Repaired after accident. Last noted Farnborough 24 Feb 1966.

My late father started his advanced flying training on 25 February 1953 with 203 AFS based at RAF Driffield in Yorkshire. He had this mishap on 09 April 1953. He was on a solo flight, exercise 14 which was for aerobatics according to his flight log. He was assigned Meteor F4 VT240 code O-25. On landing he was hit from behind by Meteor WL413 which removed the tail of Dads' aircraft. My Dad ran like hell away from his aircraft and only on turning round realised what had happened. VT240 was struck off charge on this date. My Dads caption for the photo is "Mating season for Meteor's"

WS776 was built by Armstrong Whitworth at Coventry and delivered to the RAF on 22 February 1954. As with many military aircraft at that time, it had a short front-line career and by 1961 was relegated to display duties on the gate at RAF North Luffenham, where it stood until the late 1990s. Bournemouth Aviation Museum acquired the aircraft in 2005 and reassembled it for display. It remains in good condition, considering that it has spent many decades exposed to the weather.
