Looks like the Innsworth Meteor (VW453, I think?) might be staying after the RAF move out completely. Apparently, the Army, who are moving in, want to ‘preserve the RAF heritage’ of the site.
This has scuppered the Civic Trust’s plan temporarily – but I may have found them another airframe!

The Meteor’s ‘out in the cold’ on the western side of the camp

The Meteor has been moved further into the camp and is no longer visible from outside according to reports I have received.
As I understand it its still to be retained for display duties as the Army are keen to retain some link to the sites former RAF existance.

Anyone know where the aircraft has gone? I drove past Innsworth (now known as Imjin Barracks) yesterday and aircraft was no longer there. A field gun was in its place. I’m sure it was still there a couple of months ago

Which airframe would that be?
