You're Top Poster: #9   | Meteor For Sale Here's a link to a Meteor up for tender. Unfortunately, there are no London trips on my horizon these days. Disposal Services Authority Dad flew it as A77-876 with the RAAF. It gets you thinking.... Cheers Owen |

You're Top Poster: #2 | Amazing that this would be offered up for sale. The last Meteor to leave the UK was Temora's Mk 8?

You're Top Poster: #9 | You're right David. That has been a personal goal for many years. I flew in a RAAF Tiger Moth once that he trained on. It was a tremendous feeling to sit in the same seat and actually get to fly the Tiger. Cheers Owen |

You're Top Poster: #2 | Outside storage?! Shame on you, Kyt! However, save your pennis as I'll have a decent shed soon so you can park her there...
