The Meteor NF Mk 11 was the first of the two-seat night fighter variants of the Gloster jet fighter, produced for the RAF by Sir W G Armstrong Whitworth Aircraft. This example bears the markings of No 68 Squadron, with Commanding Officer's stripes on the fin and Station Commander's pennant on the nose.

The Meteor NF Mk 13 was externally similar to the NF Mk 11, of which it was a tropicalised variant for RAF service in the Middle East. The Egyptian Air Force, in whose markings this example is illustrated, acquired six surplus NF Mk 13s in mid-1955. Three were destroyed during the Suez Canal conflict at the end of 1956.

Aviation Historian 17 / T.Cooper - Baptism of War

The only combat aircraft in EAF service to wear camouflage during the Crisis were the five Meteor NF.13s still in service with No 10 Sqn at Almaza, including “1428”, as seen here. The nightfighters were painted in Medium Sea Grey and Dark Green and wore the standard roundels and fin flashes, but no fuselage or wingtip black stripes.

Distinguished by its clear-view sliding canopy, in place of the original side-hinged design, the Meteor NF Mk 14 was the last of the night fighter variants. This example is in the markings of No 85 Squadron.

На истребителе нанесена символика командира 60-й эскадрильи, последней в британских ВВС в 1959 году перевооруженной на Meteor. Эскадрилья входила в состав Дальневосточных ВВС и дислоцировалась в Сингапуре. В 1961 году 60-я эскадрилья сменила Meteor на Gloster Javelin.

Some 50 of the Meteor NF Mk 11s were converted to serve in the target-towing role, for which purpose an ML Aviation Type G wind-driven winch was mounted above the starboard wing. They were designated Meteor TT Mk 20, this example serving with the Fleet Requirements Unit at Hal Far, Malta.

Six of the 20 Meteor NF Mk 11s sold to the Royal Danish Air Force were converted to TT Mk 20 standard and four of these were operated on behalf of the RDAF by Swedish company Svenska Flygtjanst.

В 1958 году шесть датских Meteor NF.Mk 11 были переоборудованы в TT.Mk 20 компанией "Armstrong Whitworth". Четыре самолета, включая этот SE-DCH, были проданы Швеции, где они эксплуатировались с августа 1962 по апрель 1965 года, после чего две машины были проданы, а две - списаны.

Gloster Meteor TT.20 WD592/864 'HF' of 728 NAS at RN AS Hal Far, Malta, in 1966. It was originally built as an NF.11 for the RAF by Armstrong Whitworth and converted to TT.20 standard at RNAY Belfast, Northern Ireland, in 1958. It was struck off charge in 1967 after the Mediterranean Fleet was reduced in size.

An unusual sight in American skies is the Gloster Meteor NF.11 seen being flown by Skip Holm. Obtained in the early Seventies from Malta, it was ferried to Mojave, California by Jeff Hawke for new owner Al Letcher, who operated it for several years before its airworthiness lapsed. Subsequently acquired by Al Hansen and Ascher Ward, the Meteor is now back in flying condition and was photographed by MICHAEL O'LEARY during its first post-restoration test flight at Mojave in October 1989.

Несколько Meteor Mk 8 оборудовали простейшими лебедками для буксировки мишеней. Неофициально самолеты обозначались F.(TT). Mk 8, они эксплуатировались в некоторых истребительных эскадрильях первой линии и звеньях буксировщиков мишеней. Однако ВВС и особенно авиация ВМС настаивали на разработке специализированного буксировщика мишеней, в экипаж которого входил бы оператор буксировки. Первые опыты буксировки мишеней проводились компанией "Armstrong Whitworth" и экспериментальным Центром авиации и вооружения ВВС с использованием двух Meteor NF.Mk 14 и одного NF.Mk 11 (№WD767). Meteor в конфигурации TT.Mk 20 выполнил первый полет в марте 1957 года. Установленная на NF.Mk 11 система оказалась более удачной, и ее выбрали для монтажа на новые буксировщики, которые переоборудовались из NF.Mk 11 в заводских условиях (вооружение при этом снималось). Лебедка ML Aviation Type G с приводом от воздушного потока (на прототипе TT.Mk 20, на фотоснимке) монтировалась на пилоне над центропланом правой консоли крыла. Трос длиной 1860 м выпускался из-под фюзеляжа. К тросу посредством пирозамка крепилась мишень. Четыре стандартные мишени хранились в цилиндрических контейнерах в хвостовой части фюзеляжа.
