Meteor T7 in 3rd pic is WA662. Formation callsign Vintage Nugget. Air Clues did short piece at the time - combined age of the 4 aeroplanes was 106 years (doesn't seem much these days!); combined age of the 5 pilots was 272 years!

Any idea when that picture was taken? If '662 was the Farnborough T7, that was written off in mid '75. If it was Llanbedr's aircraft, the Llanbedr callsign changed from Nugget to TeeBird when the operation was contractorised which was about '91.
By the way, the first pic was not taken at Farnborough; that type of hangar door was not used on any hangar I remember, so I would think it was Cambridge.
