OAP

That would be the Meteor engine, as fitted to the Comet ? (The proper one, with tracks and a turret, I mean !)

Some training for these was done at Farnborough, adjacent to RAE, in 1945 using a Ryper Simulator, which overlooked the R/W.

PS Other road users treated tanks with "L" plates with some respect but did not know that some pupils were not yet 18 and some Instructors were just 19.

Slightly different speeds, I recall, to something built by DH a little later and also seen at Farnborough !
