You are right Dave, I must have been having a brain fade. :hammer: The Meteor was of course the first jet fighter on The Allies side in WWII.

Great collection you have there; is it all privately funded? Are any of them airworthy (now that would cost money!)?

Funding for day to day operation comes from entrance fees major acquisitions are funded by donations, patronage etc, there are a number of airworthy 'craft in the collection but none of the jets.
