Great work as always.
Nice to see a Meteor from Woodvale, for a long time there used to be one on the gate there. Having relatives living in Formby I would always look forward to seeing it when driving from Formby to Southport.
Anyone know where it went as it eventually got replaced by a Phantom?

She certaininly is. With the tail number provided in your link and google, it seem that Air Atlantic have become involved with this project.

Iâ€™m unable to link directly to it, but the info can be found if you click on 'News' from the front page and then scroll down to â€˜Restoration Projectsâ€™ towards the bottom of the news page:

With AA involved I should think its return to flight is pretty much assured.

Thanks Alex

That's great news as you say the future of that aircraft could be in betters hands once these guys get involved.

Perhaps there is a NOT missing from this comment ???

The Phantom has disappeared (..like a Phantom into ze night? - Sorry been watching the 'Allo 'Allo prog on tape again) and last time I passed had not been replaced. Perhaps a Jaguar could find a home there?

I think I saw somewhere that it had been one of the F4(J)s bought to top up numbers after the Falklands commitment for a Flight at Port Stanley, and that the supply had been on the understanding that these aircraft had to eventually be destroyed/returned to the States once out of commission.

Mind you I think there is one in the RAF Museum at Hendon, so I could be talking rot as usual.
