Built in 1953 as a Meteor NF.11, RAF serial WM261. Used as a trials aircraft by Armstrong-Whitworth and Ferranti. Converted to NF.14 standard as the prototype of that version. Became G-ARCX in 1960, going into operational service at Edinburgh with the Ferranti Flying Unit, as a radar test and development aircraft. Now on static display in Scotland's National Museum of Flight, at East Fortune, East Lothian, where it has been since 1973. This photo is copyright © David A.
