Summary
| Description |
This historic airframe is the first prototype Meteor, and therefore Britains first jet fighter. It first flew on 24th July 1943, although this wasn’t the first Meteor flight as DG206 had previously flown on 5th March. DG202 served as a test and development aircraft until September 1945 when it was withdrawn from use and stored. It became a ground trainer until placed on display as a gate guard at RAF Yatesbury in March 1958. In 1961 it was replaced on the gate by a Venom and in 1965 it joined the historic collection at Cosford. It remained on display there until September 2011 when it was moved to its current location in the Milestones of Flight Hall, RAF Museum, Hendon, London, UK. 22-3-2015 |
