The SUMMER weather from the mid 80s to the mid 90s was not always brilliant

Thanks for looking.

Great shots. I think the "summer" weather is still the same.

All good!

Not a bad one in the bunch!

I'm going back in for a third
and fourth look

Can't pick a favo(u)rite

Leaning toward the SLUF, though.....

You just don't see enough of them....

What's the story on the Meteor entitled "meat box" did the seat fire by accident...?

[Jigsaw]

I like every single one of them

Ray it's one of two maintained by Martin Baker for testing new developments on their ejection seats!

Ray, the two Martin Baker-owned Meteors are fascinating. They are fondly known as Mk.7-and-a-halves, being T7s with an F8 rear fuselage and tail for better high speed and asymmetric handling. Have a look at this MB link: http://www.ejectorseats.co.uk/The-Chalgrove-meteors-_2_.pdf

Thanks guys and thanks Charles for the comprehensive link answering Ray's query.

I have some more shots of 'Asterix' at this RAF Benson airshow from the 80s.
