Bur not for long, as it crashed two days after delivery! Some confusion here. EE226 did indeed crash, but the picture is of the one and only Trent Meteor, EE227. Served with No. 616 Sqn as YQ-Y, then went to RAE Farnborough. Fitted at one time with a T-tail. Sent to Rolls-Royce at Hucknall for conversion. First flight with Trents on 20 September 1945. Testing included simulated deck landing at the A&AEE. Eventually restored to standard after 47 flying hours with Trents. Back again to RAE Farnborough, where it was used in fire destruction tests and broken up in June 1949. -- Peter

Slow down and think, boy. -- Moving things in still pictures

Air Britan Aeromilitaria mislabeled the photo as EE226, checcking
their roster of single seat Meteors confirm it should be EE227. I have corrected the file name. Joe.

The wrong serial number was given. EE226 did crash, but the Trent Meteor, the one in the photo, was EE227. See my previous post.
