Gloster Meteor.
May i suggest you to change size, angle or contrast or something else until we can’t use anymore “search that image on google”.
With very few changes it works well.
I don’t think it’s a Meteor – this one has an asymmetrical canopy strut arrangement. The Meteor has one on each side, this has none on the right, and also has a hint of a second strut on the left to compound confusion…
My mistake too – definitely a Meteor 🙂 Dunno why the right strut is missing though. Perhaps removed from the original pic to confuse the Germans at the time, and me 70 years later.
Goodie goodie…
Another mystery picture on this rainy Sunday afternoon.
My gut feeling
P-38.
Deep inside I know I am wrong.
Looks early post war to me; Vampire or a Venom perhaps?
Meteor that is my guess it has a Mach meter
I agree, Meteor two seater perhaps?
Sea Vixen – early Mark
Gloster Meteor T.7 is my best guess.

Meteor Mk III, I reckon.

My mistake; T-7 not Mark III

The T-7 has an asymmetric strut – not sure why…
definitely Meteor T7 FRONT cockpit.
am assembling one right at this moment.
