Hi Matt

I have some service photos of this T7 somewhere.

How soon do you need them?

From memory, a few are colour in-service shots, one is a BW in the 60’s, and another taken in the 70’s at the ATC unit itself. The colour ones show a silver aircraft with a dayglo nose. I have a dossier on the a/c’s history too.

As for its condition, I’ve seen worse Meteors outside, and I know the unit have worked on preserving it over the years, but it does need some attention to ensure it lasts the distance. It carried a fairly authentic colour scheme until the late 80’s, but for some reason it has taken on a strange mix of inapropriate markings during its last repaint? The good new is that it is on a hardstanding, and not sinking up to its axles in mud!

I pass it on my way to work every day, and for the brief seconds I queue past it, it makes for a very interesting sight.
