Our loss is your gain, this restoration took many years here in the UK but her flying life over here was brief. Here's to many years of safe and happy flying with PoF.

30年以上前にバンパイアとの空中接触で失われて以来、飛行可能な現存機は無いと思っていました。 見事に復元させてくれた、スタッフさん一同に感謝❗️

NICE NEW TOY! Always great to see a new addition to the collection. CONGRATS!

Well ! That was a surprise ! I bet Steve can't wait to take this gem up ! It's a long while since l last saw one in the air over here in the UK. Thanks to all .

Planes of Fame is where history lives! Looking forward to seeing this beautiful example flying! Congratulations on adding another flyable aircraft to the collection!

Sounded real smooth during the flybys.

Awesome restoration job!! A fantastic addition to the world’s greatest aircraft museum

Beautiful lines !!!!!

Very purposeful looking aeroplane. Solid British engineering. Enjoy!

The Meatbox has the worst service record of any jet aircraft in RAF service, 890 crashed killing 450 British pilots. 1 out of every 3 built crashed.

@@raymond7880 The _"Meat box"_ was a very troubled design, hastily converted from a twin propeller driven, H-tail nightfighter design its asymmetric handling characteristics, small vertical stabilizer and poor rudder authority was a deadly combination. Directionally unstable at high speed with snaking and a tendency to snap into a flat spin that caused structural damage and failure of the tail or wings. An engine failure on take-off was considered unrecoverable even after ejection seats were introduced It was a common crash scenario. A long process of remedial engineering to improve stability, structural strength and improved engine reliability but the fatal crashes continued unabated well into the 1950s. 150 crashed in 1952, 12 crashed in one week, 6 crashed in a single day..

hello i am 14 years of age and i LOVE planes i want to take lessons and ultimately own an F4U corsair and P-15C mustang love your content

Awesome!

Wow!!! So cool!!!

Nice to see

Glad to see her get a good home 👍

Shame she is no longer flying here in the UK. But, glad she is still flying though. The only other 2 Meteors that fly belong to ejection seat manufacturer Martin Baker who use them to test their ejection seats.

There are five currently airworthy, this one, two with Martin Baker, one at Bruntingthorpe and one in Australia at the Temora Aviation Museum.

Wow, rare bird

Is this really a Mk.7? I thought the tail plane had changed from this design after the Mk.4? This reminds me.more of the Mk.3... with the exception of the larger Derwent engines, and not the Wellands?

Is there an F.8 in Australia flying?

Whittle's engines were too unreliable and never saw RAF service. The Welland and Derwent engines were designed by Adrian Lombard and Stanley Hooker.

The ME 262 had the looks and the aerodynamics, sadly its engines were weak and had no shelf life, the Meteor with it's engines superior reliability would always be available, if two air forces equipped with only one or the other went up against each other I am sure that the side using the Meteor would always have more available at any one time and so the side using the ME 262 would probably be overwhelmed eventually. We only need look at the so called superior German tanks being overwhelmed by the Soviet tanks due to reliability and ease of maintenance and serviceability, if you want aesthetics choose the stunning ME 262, if you want to win the war choose the ever dependable Meteor. Another thing to maybe think about is the Meteor continued long after WWII and into the Korean War, now I am sure that if the ME 262 was that much better than the Meteor, surely we and the US would have adopted the ME 262 with the engines from the Meteor and ceased manufacturing the Meteor, looks ain't everything you know!

​@@redlioness6627That old British myth won't fly today, the Jumo 109-004a Orkan engines made with Krupp P-198 Chromadur alloy never saw production or service. The improved B version easily passed the 100 PFTR reliability test requirements for the Luftwaffe, the Dame 100 test used by the RAF and the USAAF. The US Operation LUSTY tested them and confirmed TBOs averaged 55 hours, EXCELLENT by WW2 standards for Allied piston engines.
