Those pics are a modellers dream with the HK models 1/32 kit on the horizon.

Going to Dinand in the Belgian Ardennes we got up to the Citadel by cablecar and there was a Meteor on a pole in very sad condition. My wife remarked: “Did you know this?” I did not (honest).When we got back a few years later it was repainted.

I think a lot of people don’t appreciate the hard work (and financial effort) needed to be able to get these airframes flying, no matter the percentage of original parts.
Looking at the Mk I’s it’s nothing short of amazing that these are build according to the specifications laid down at the time they were operational, as opposed to converting essentially Mk IX airframes using earlier Merlin marks.
At the other side of the spectrum, it woud be great to see a twenties series aircraft flying someday.
Keep up the good work chaps.

Congratulations on a very nice article of the project in FlyPast. Although I wish someone would get their facts correct. Our organisation is not called Stichting Aviation Group (don’t know where that comes from) but Stichting Aircraft Recovery Group 1940-1945.

I thought this one was already lined up for reconstruction?

That control column looks very familiar, having been on display in our museum for years. It suddenly dissapeared because the then elderly owner needed money. Good to see that it eventually went to a good home.

I second that! Good news indeed.
