Painted as I-091, but it really is C-094. Delivered in June 1949 as I-094 and to C-094 in December 1959. Withdrawn in December 1970 and was one of twelve Meteors that took part in a farewell flypast over Buenos Aires on 29th December 1970. Later displayed, initially as I-091 and later C-091 (which crashed in October 1964) at the Grupo de Vigilancia y Control del Espacio Aereo (VYCEA) headquarters at Merlo in southwestern Buenos Aires. Believed still present at time of upload. The Aircraft Map above shows where it was at the time of the photo, around 2008 it moved 120m east.
