Gloster Meteor NF14 (T) WS744 portrayed as it was in the late 60's early 70's as a Gate Guardian at RAF Hospital Ely that I had to attend as a child, so I remember this Meteor well. Later in the 70's it was repainted in a camouflage scheme. Today it has been restored and moved to an aviation museum on the island of Malta.
