I wasn't considering the odd aeroplane being flown by RAF pilots. I was considering a formal unit, equipped with Meteors and flying as an operational formation.

My soft spot for the Meteor is that it was the aircraft that first fired me up for a career in aviation. I have a photo of myself and my best friend, both aged 8 at the time, in the cockpit of a Meteor taken at RAF Thornaby on a BoB Day in 1955.
