A700xxxx part-numbers – what aircraft?

Hi all. Along with around 60+ p/ns for Gloster Meteor, I received these parts. Does anyone know what they are from?

7003013; 7003294/1; A7003167/2 (& A7003138 – welded assy); A7003348; A7003349

An interesting range of parts. I have the parts book for Meteor F.8 and there is nothing like these numbers.

There are some parts in there listed as ‘Amstrong’, but these are just like W-series Meteor p/ns with A in front: eg, AW.41902. I assume these are Armstrong Whitworth. But this doesn’t say anything about what you might see on the NF Meteors. Also there are the U drones that were converted by Fairey Aviation.

Maybe they are not Meteor related at all.

Thanks Blue 2. There is a chance they are drone parts as the whole lot came from Adelaide in South Australia. The drones largely operated from Woomera area in that state. The odd little bent parts painted grey did resemble a part with a W series number, so I think it likely they are Meteor.

Cheers

Not seeing anything there that leaps out as NF parts.
