‘RCAF (Canada)
Canada did not operate the Meteor but did purchase a small number and co-operated with the RAF on winterisation trials in the late 1940’s. The first Meteor to fly in Canada was F Mk III, EE311 arrived in September 1945, it was lost after running out of fuel and force landing in Helen’s Bay Lake, Ontario. Its replacement EE361 also suffered an early accident after only a few hours of trails work in Dec 1946 although it did return to the UK in March 1948 by sea.
In February 1948 Meteor F4, RA421 was sent to Canada for further winterisation trials which was carried on by VT196. After is return to the UK, VT196 was also involved in reheat trials of the Avro Orenda. Two Meteor T7 trainers (WA740 & WA742) were operated by the RCAF at Odiham for intensive training between january and November 1951 after which they were returned to the RAF.’

Could this photo that I have in my collection be of EE311?

On the back it has a typed label which reads…………..
“Meteor III. Arctic Trials at Edminton, Canada. January and February, 1946.”

Guess it is EE361

Thanks, John, for I knew that someone with more AB monographs than me would be able to help! It’s as a two seater that I’m particularly interested in J6673.

J6673 was a Bristol F.2B Mk.II
Guess you mean J6583, first steel Siskin, ordered 31.5.20
