Contact the Meteor Flight

The restoration of WA591 is taking place at our facility near Yatesbury. The project is well underway although it is likely to be another two or three years until its first flight. Currently we have enough parts and engines to potentially return three Meteors to the air. To do this however we need help, not only skilled and semi-skilled people to work on the aircraft but also help cataloging our mountain of spares. Equally important is maintenance work on the building itself. You can also support us from your armchair with your valuable subscriptions or buy buying merchandise from our shop which include prints and model kits or the Meteor and related aircraft.
