Well caught, canny lad!

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
