In the early 1950 the adoption of a prone pilot was thought to offer the advantages of reduced drag (through elimination of the cockpit bulge) and better resistance to g-force swings when lying flat. In practice the difficulty of operating the controls outweighed these gains, especially after the development of special g-suits, and this plane was never flown solo from the forward, prone position.

This airframe served with 56 Sqn. but is now preserved as part of the IWM Cold War Jets display at Duxford. It would be great if anyone knows the cn for this aircraft.

This Meteor was previously A77-876 with the RAAF before returning to the UK and being allocated to the RAE at Llanbedr. It was used to chase target drones, hence, this extremely high-vis scheme. Now part of the very friendly and welcoming Boscombe Down Aviation Collection - Old Sarum Museum.

This aircraft was TOC by the FAA in 1952 and served until being placed in storage at Kemble during 1966. It has been part of the FAA Museum's collection since 1971 and has been stored as part of the Reserve Collection at Cobham Hall since 1999. It is presently undergoing restoration, hence the fuel tank on the floor and the gaping hole behind the cockpit.
