EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Gloster Meteor NF.14 WS788, preserved in the distinctive colours of No.152 Squadron at the Yorkshire Air Museum in Elvington, York. The Meteor NF.14, serial number WS788, is a former Royal Air Force (RAF) aircraft that underwent conversion to become a navigator trainer, designated NF(T).14, for No.2 Air Navigation School at Thorney Island and later at No.1 School at Stradishall. The conversion involved the installation of additional equipment and modifications to accommodate the role of training RAF navigators. The Meteor NF.14 was a significant aircraft in RAF history, having served during the post-World War II era as a frontline fighter and interceptor, before being repurposed for training duties. The image, taken circa 1995, captures the timeless beauty and historical significance of this aeronautical marvel, which continues to inspire aviation enthusiasts and remind us of the rich history of flight.
