So the Meteor had airbrakes on the inboard section of the wing then. Help me out here - is that the bit in front of the elevators?
The section of the wing between the engines and the fuselage.
The outboard engines on the meteor acted as large aerodynamic fences on the wings and so airflow disrupted by the airbrakes did not affect the ailerons - a benign configuration compared to some other aircraft with wing mounted airbrakes.
