Thanks for all your posts Joe, I really appreciate them.
This photo makes me a bit curious, it appears that there are a few bits n
pieces missing from the Meteor.
Like the canopy, parts from around the air inlet on the engines and it seems
to be settled into the ground a fair ways too.
Is there any further information on this photo?

It has a Maintenance Serial which means it's non-flying and used for
instructional purposes. In other words, when it's not being neglected, it's
being abused.
