EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Meteor Moment: Gloster Meteor T.7 WA669 27 of the Central Flying School at RAF Little Rissington in 1970" 2. Caption: This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the sleek lines and powerful presence of a Gloster Meteor T.7 (WA669 27) as it taxis on the runway of RAF Little Rissington in August 1970. Located in the Cotswolds, RAF Little Rissington is the highest active airfield in the British Isles, with an altitude of 223 metres (732 ft) Above Mean Sea Level (AMSL). The Meteor, a British first-generation jet fighter, was a pioneering aircraft in the post-World War II era, serving with the Royal Air Force (RAF) from 1944 until the late 1980s. 3. In this image, we see WA669 27, assigned to the Central Flying School (CFS), as it prepares for takeoff or landing. The Meteor T.7 was primarily used for advanced training, and its inclusion in the CFS fleet underscores its importance as a versatile and capable aircraft. The Meteor's distinctive delta wing design, combined with its powerful Rolls-Royce Derwent engines, made it a formidable presence in the skies and a vital component of the RAF's inventory. 4. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of aviation at RAF Little Rissington and the pivotal role the Gloster Meteor played in shaping the future of military aviation. The image's timeless composition and the raw power conveyed by the Meteor make it an essential addition to any aviation or military history collection. 5. The Gloster Meteor remains an iconic symbol of British aviation innovation and a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the engineers, pilots, and support personnel who brought it to life. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the past while inspiring awe and admiration for the technological marvels that continue to shape our skies.
