    Really disappointed that only a few minutes of content
    were given over the Meteor.

    It really gets old when the makers of these videos mislead you entirely as to what the video is about. I clicked on this because i was interested in watching a video about the Gloster Meteor and to my dismay it was two or three minutes to barely talk about it and then move onto other things. I did enjoy the video but please don't mislead people in the title of your videos because from now on i'm sure i'll just bypass any video from this channel because i'll not believe that the title is going to be what the video is actually about.

    On my Dad’s 21st birthday he ferried an Avro Canada CF-100 all weather fighter from Canada to England for the RAF to evaluate it. While there he was invited to fly the Meteor night fighter (same as the Meteor flown in this segment - note the long nose and the prominent canopy frame and second seat). The CF100 had boosted controls but the meteor was fully manual. He was quite surprised how well balanced and effortless the controls were on the meteor at jet speeds without hydraulic assist. A tribute to the engineers at Glosters.

    I hope to we won't get back to the fears of 50th, but due to the current psychos politicians that possibility could be real very soon.

      Putin keeps saying it's his RIGHT to use nukes in Ukraine,and the Chinese probably won't hesitate to use theirs whenever they try to take Taiwan.I guess we'll see.

    And the RAFs worst jet fighter... 890 crashed killing 450 British pilots.
    1 out of every 3 built crashed or were destroyed in non-combat accidents. The highest loss rate of any jet fighter.
