This appropriately registered Meatbox is painted to represent 'Halestorm', a MiG-killer flown by Sgt George Hale during the Korean War. Its real identity is VZ467 and it made the RAF's last Meteor flight before being retired in 1982. Placed in storage as a spare for the RAF's Vintage Pair display team, it was sold and registered G-METE on 5 November 1991, making its first post-restoration flight in 1994. Acquired by Temora Aviation Museum in 2001 and re-registered VH-MBX on 30 October that year.
