The Meteor has Rebecca aerials on both outer wings. A true anorak note is that these would have been coated in seaplane vanish to prevent corrosion. The varnish did however get chipped and was almost impossible to remove, the ignorant took to removing it with a bastard file causing nervous breakdowns and hissing fits by Engineering Officers.
There was a hi-tech development where all the aerials were cleaned of varnish and dipped in day-glo non-corrosive paint.
