Evening all,

A very welcome and unexpected visitor at Newcastle today was Gloster Meteor T.7 G-JWMA / WA638. This airframe was built in 1949 and has been in the capable hands of Martin-Baker Aircraft Company Ltd since 1952. Arriving and departing in formation with Beech 200 King Air G-BGRE.

Excellent catch. Thanks for posting these! Does anyone know if MB's other Meteor is still airworthy?

Beautiful shots! Lovely to see the old lady still flying.

Saw that pair of aircraft after lunch today heading to Lossiemouth. Only the light aircraft was showing on FR24 (I got inside to check once I made sure I wasn't seeing things - The MB meatbox). I'd seen a MB light aircraft dropping into Lossie earlier in the morning on FR24.

Very distinctive sound that old jet engine makes
