Good close up video. I'm curious, what are the differences between the T7 and F8

Hi Joe,

This page illustrates it quite nicely:

http://www.vectorsite.net/avmeteor.html

But in a nutshell, the T.7 and T.8 share the same wing planform but the T.7 has a a framed canopy for 2 pilots sitting in tandem. The F.8 featured a "new" tail unit derived from that proposed for a single-engine derivative of the Meteor which never went into production, whereas the T.7 retains the tail from the earlier Meteor variants. The F.8 is slightly longer and features uprated engines.

Thanks for that Toby. A good read with my sunday morning coffee.
Think I'll jump into my T8 I have parked on the ramp and get better acquainted with the ol gal.

Sorry, no seating for friends.
