Booker Meteors – Where are they now?

Try the operators first http://www.wycombeairpark.co.uk/ listed on here as Airways Aero Associations Ltd trading as Booker Aviation.

The owner of Booker airfield is Wycombe District Council. I wouldn’t hold your breath that the airfield operator/lease holder has any plans for restoration. Someone should step in and negotiate a rescue plan….

According to Barry he sold the Meteor to the airfield owner hence the move. I hope its not going to stay in the corner of the field.

You’d have hoped the days of Meteors being discarded, dismantled and dumped out in the long grass were behind us…

What a shame, hopefully someone will save it ?

Many thanks for the information! Another website that lists demobbed aircraft lists the nose swap and looking at photos from before disassembly it appears that both have had the narrow anti glare strip applied at one time or another but struggling to work out when!?

According to a contact at Booker, the Meteor parts were moved to where the glider trailers are parked and roughly put together (his words not mine) and as far as he knows , it is still there.
The photo in #2 was taken in 2009 before the aircraft arrived at Booker.

Happy New Year to one and all.

Small anti-dazzle panel matches the nose of WL360 whilst at Yatesbury, as does what appears to be a replacement silver access panel just visible cutting into the anti-dazzle on the stbd side, so I’d say it still has the nose of ‘360.
