some kickass technology of the day.

Had 3 at RAF Brawdy as target towers. Flt Lt Catt was a master at flying these a/c. Would take up his pipe and a hip flask. Rarely came back withought a hole or two in the tail/fuselage! Loved to beat up the airfield on his return! Could hear it at full throttle from miles away!

The Brazilian Air Force operated Gloster Meteor from 1953 to 1971... Here was used as attack plane..

I thoroughly enjoyed this video, -- why? -- Because I am an ex RAF flight mechanic who worked on both the Gloster Meteors and Vampires, while stationed in Egypt, in the M.E.A.F. in the 1950's. Graceful aircraft, and man could they move, (ancient by today's standards perhaps,) but thrilling memories all the same. Thanks for sharing.

The Hawker Hunter, one of my all time favourite aircraft. Always a pleasure to see these aircraft flying, great vid, pity theres no engine noise though.
-
now someone buy some planes at scrap prices and keep storing them .
-
I just realised that the last shots are planes with Switz? airforce markings. Is this a reminder that we sold planes throughout Europe?
-
I like the scorch marks on Martin Bakers Meteor from testing the ejector seats.
-
great that there are still pilots that can fly these beasts,thank you all.
