Gloster Meteor Mk.8 Dutch Air Force (Aviodrome)

[JeroenPeters]

Hi guys,

 

Here are some up close and personal shots of the Gloster Meteor Mk.8 as can be seen at the Aviodrome Museum in the Netherlands. A place taken over by screaming kids, but this allows one to crawl under the planes to take photo's for you guys, since the guards are too busy minding the kids.

 

So here goes:

 

Not the missing wooden flanges on the engine intakes:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Airbrakes:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fuselage:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gear:

 

 

 

 

Nose wheel well:

 

 

 

 

 

And this is about where the battery of my phone died...
