West Coast ...

Just to add to BEagle's reply to your #37 ... 'our' Meteor (aka Meatbox) came in a variety of interesting forms ... not least a sole example of this lash up (F8 Prone)

There were a total of 22 Meteor variants (including the prototypes)

Used for experimental work on the (then) perceived benefits of a Pilot flying in the Prone Position (I just know I'm going to regret typing that )

If you are further interested ... more here ...
