Armstrong Whittworth AW Meteor NF.11 (WD790). WD790 didn't actually serve as a night-fighter, but instead was used as a testbed for radar and other systems over a thirty year period for aircraft such as the Lightning, TSR2, Tornado and Vulcan. It was also used as a (non destructive) manned radar target for Bloodhound and Thunderbird missile trials. The aircraft was scrapped in 1984, but NEAM succeeded in saving the cockpit section for preservation. The AW Meteor is a development of the Gloster Meteor by which time Armstrong Whitworth had merged with the Gloster Aircraft Company.
