Description

Armstrong Whitworth Meteor NF13 WM366 night fighter at the Jet Age Museum, Gloucester, May 30, 2021.

Forty aircraft were constructed by Armstrong Whitworth as replacements for the famous De Havilland Mosquito.  It was a version of the NF11 for service in tropical conditions. Note the 'greenhouse' type cockpit canopy as opposed to the bubble hood on the NF14. Some were sold abroad after RAF service.

IMO, it was a tribute to the engineers at Gloucester that the Meteor NF variants actually could fly given how much the airframe had to change!
