You're Top Poster: #9   | RAAF Meteor Mk.8 Hi All, I had a great day at the Australian War Memorial today. Of note is the post-1945 exhibition and within that is featured a Gloster Meteor that my father flew on a dozen, or so, missions in Korea. (A77-368) Here's a photo of me showing the Meteor to one of his grand-daughters that he didn't live to meet. Web Meteor.jpg Cheers Owen |
