A T.7 with the cockpit section removed is basically a Mk.4 airframe when it comes to the important bits. Where to find a Mk.4 cockpit though? That is the question.

Airframe part commonality throughout the Meteor types is very high. There are plenty of airframes around that can be measured (and I have measured several too).

My question was, what drawings have survived?

Reading another post here stating the remaining drawings went to Chadderton…. don’t hold your breath, as I spent some considerable time accessing drawings there and only ever saw de Havilland ones!

I would suspect that the only place to look now would be Martin Baker, being the last user of the type. They are an engineering company who use and modify the Meteor airframe, and I would be surprised if they don’t have an archive of the drawings?
