Hi
Just a quick photo request on behalf of a friend, WH132 is a meteor T7 based at chelmsford ATC (friends of ours).
So i was (my friend) wondering weather anyone has any current(ish) pics or service pics of her.
Also just out of interest whats her condition like she looks generaly ok from the few pics i have seen.
Enjoy this sunny sunday 🙂
Cheers

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.

There’s a pic of her on http www.demobbed.org.uk
Unsure how recent it is though.
