Help – 96 Sqn Meteor NF11 photo

Hi all
For a painting project I’m trying to find an actual photo of a 96 Sqn Meteor NF11. I’ve done the usual google searches with no luck other than models etc. Is anybody able to assist please?
TIA
Steve

96 Squadron Photographs

I am surprised that no-one has suggested Roger Lindsay’s superb book “Cold War Shield” There is a section on 96 Squadron’s Meteors featuring images depicting the squadron markings, a concise history, a list of Meteors flown, and a close-up of the blue / yellow markings on a Meteor 7.

Steve,
The picture shows the starboard side of WD784. The aircraft is banking very slightly away from the camera plane.

Hope this is of some help.

Thanks for the replies guys. Cabbage, I’ll look out for the book, could you just confirm to me, does the photo show the port or starboard side of the aircraft?
Many thanks
Steve

96 Sqdn Meteor NF.11

In the book “POSTWAR MILITARY AIRCRFAFT : 2” on the Gloster Meteor, by Chaz Bowyer, there is an air-to-air picture of a 96 Sqdn Meteor in flight.

It is on page 67.

I could scan the picture, but am worried about any copywright infringements.

The book ISBN is 0711014779, and it was published in 1985

Hope this is of some help.

Regards, Cabbage
