Research Meteor
Gloster Meteor T.7(MOD) WL375 displayed at the Dumfries & Galloway Aviation Museum. Two non standard modifications are a photo nose and F.8 tail assembly. Painted in the last known scheme applied when in service at RAF West Freugh southwest Scotland.
Delivered to the RAF 5 June 1952 and in service up until 1969 it would seem mostly for research/trials work at West Freugh, the twin jet was semi derelict and abandoned in the long grass at that airfield in 1996.
The museum volunteers have done a grand restoration job on this classic early jet fighter design.
