Proud to have known and visited Newark Air Museum all my life. Here I am with my Dad and #VZ608 around 1979 ❤️ 10 years and many visits later we were members and volunteers #NAMMusMemories

Another fine illustration from Gordon Horner - #Meteor #VZ608 , with an RB. /08 engine mounted below it, on the #Hucknall runway. Source: Flight 09/1961 #NottsAviation #Gloster #Aviation #Heritage #AVgeek

One from the archives, we're very fond of the Gordon Horner drawings that were produced for Flight. This one features #Meteor VZ608 with an RB108 engine, here at #Hucknall . #NottsAviation

This one?

During yesterday's #Draken picture search of the #DTEParchive Howard Heeley came up with a couple of other pictures - our unique #Meteor FR.9 VTOL test-bed aircraft #VZ608 in the #NAMworkshop & a #NorthfieldSite view!

Today's visit by Rolls-Royce students from Derby University were allowed cockpit viewings on our ex R-R VTOL test-bed aircraft #VZ608 in #NAMHangar2 & they also witnessed some bungee changes underway on the Dominie #XS726 crew door!

Tweet two #Advent2020NAM Day 4 & the #Meteor FR.9 #NAMrestoration was completed & #VZ608 was ‘rolled in’ to #NAMHangar1 for ‘storage’ awaiting the completion of #NAMHangar2 Newark Air Museum
Both #DTEParchive & that same photo opportunity! 😂😇

Newark Air Museum Classic Warbirds Not got any pictures of #VZ608 to hand, will a #Trent Turboprop version and another of #WA902 do in the meantime? 🙂 #Meteor #NottsAviation #Aviation #avgeek #Hucknall

Newark Air Museum Hucknall Flight Test Museum My RT prompted the grey cells to have a quick look into the #DTEParchive & locate this #VZ608 photo from the very early 1980s - first #NAMrestoration by some Rolls-Royce employees who volunteered Newark Air Museum
Plus another 'roll-out' photo in front of #NAMHangar1

Newark Air Museum Legends ❤ #VL348 & #VZ608 in there! Top photos 👌🏻

Newark Air Museum My late next-door (but 1) neighbour made fairings and scoop for the in-flight air intake on VZ608 - I've probably bored everybody with that fact a million times! He was another legend who loved his visit & seeing the aircraft again.
Lest We Forget ❤ xx

My favourite museum piece No.1: Gloster Meteor VZ608 VTOL testbed (Newark Air Museum) hushkit.net/2020/05/12/my-… ハリアーの開発ストリーの中では、TMRとかSC.1はよく取り上げられますが、ミーティアを改造したテストベッドの話はあまり読んだ記憶が無いカモ。

Newark Air Museum A quick peek in Air Britan's 'RAF Aircraft SA100-VZ999' shows that Meteor VZ608 was in a batch of 35 serials all allocated to FR.9 variants. Vz728 was in a batch of four serials allotted to trials and prototype aircraft.

Richard W - Is Vaxxed & Boosted. Yay! LarsB The Meteor picture is quite interesting as it shows the F.8 that we acquired to replace the FR.9 #VZ608 VTOL test-bed airframe on the R-R Hucknall fire dump!
