Pics of Gloster Meteor in RNoAF colours?

Hi,

Does anyone have pictures of the Gloster Meteor (any variant) in Royal Norwegian Air Force colours to post or send me?

Yours hopefully,

Rudnei

Hi,

No, they did specifically mention Norway, as well as The Netherlands, Belgium and Denmark.

Could the references have been to Royal Netherlands Air Force (who did fly Meteors) rather than the Royal Norwegian Air Force?

Just a thought

Hi John,

I thought so as well, but I’ve seen references mentioning the RNoAF used it; but I haven’t seen any photos so far… perhaps just a few were used to train pilots in jet aircraft before moving onto the Vampire?

The Norwegians (to my knowledge) didn’t use the Meteor, they bought Vampires.
