In 1946 a Meteor captured Australian newspaper headlines when it flew over Melbourne at 788 km/h (490 mph). Imported on 7 June 1946, this Meteor F 4 carried out trials at Laverton and Darwin and, at one time, carried two identification numbers - the RAF serial EE427 and the RAAF allocation A77-1. However, it was not until 1951, when Meteors went into action with No 77 Squadron in Korea, that these aircraft made their mark in RAAF history.
Ninety-three Meteor F 8s and six Meteor T 7s were allocated to the Korean War with scattered serial numbers ranging between A77-2 (T 7) and A77-982 (F 8). They were used mainly in the ground-attack role, but also accounted for three MIG-15s. Forty-one F 8s and three T 7s returned to Australia aboard HMAS Vengeance, and by 1958 most Meteors had been replaced by CAC Sabres.

«Ήταν κι ένας άνθρωπος εκεί που δεν τον είχε προσέξει τόση ώρα, καθόταν στην καρέκλα ακίνητος, βουβός, στη γενειάδα του ξεχώριζαν μικρά στίγματα σαν ψίχουλα ή ζωύφια, κοίταζε επίμονα στα μάτια έναν σκύλο – ο σκύλος τον κοίταζε κι αυτός προσηλωμένος, καθισμένος στα πίσω του πόδια. Έμεναν έτσι παγωμένοι και ακίνητοι, δεν φάνηκε να ενοχλούνται από την παρουσία μας, πότε-πότε ο ηλικιωμένος άντρας άνοιγε ανεπαίσθητα το στόμα του σαν να ψιθύριζε κάτι, φαντάστηκα πως εξιστορεί την περιπέτεια της ζωής του και οι λέξεις του είναι κόκαλα που στάζουν από τα χείλη του κατευθείαν στην καρδιά του σκύλου. Έριξα μια ματιά προς το αυτοκίνητο, η Ειρήνη μέσα από το παρμπρίζ τους παρατηρούσε ανέκφραστη».
