Newark Meteor leaves the workshop

摘要

After spending more than two years in Newark Air Museum's workshop, the fuselage of Armstrong Whitworth-built Meteor NF.14 WS739 was recently moved back outside. The partially completed jet has undergone an in-depth restoration. During the next few weeks the airframe will be reassembled and the remaining markings applied, before it is moved to a new display position. WS739 is listed as a 'significant' airframe on the National Aviation Heritage Register and is being returned to the 25 Sguadron markings that it last wore between 1954 and 1958, while operating from both Tangmere, Sussex and Waterbeach, Cambs.
