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.

An unusual shot of this Meteor dismantled prior to being re-assembled at the new site of the Bournemouth Aviation Museum, which opened again on 24th October 2008.
