Description
A British Gloster "Meteor".
I took a lot of pictures of this aircraft but found this rather partial shot (for me) to be to my liking.
This Meteor sits in the Airpark at Edwards Air Force Base at Roger's Dry Lake, California where it was evaluated (test flown) by the US Air Force shortly after World War II.

Great compo! The POV draws my eye immediately to the nose and thence back to the rest of the plane...wonderful work!

Glad you don't do 'portraits'.....what a nose :-) Unusual angle on this Bill, but great view of the transition from square to domed canopy. I always liked the original Meteor, but never took to this long nose setup. Still a very interesting piece of aviation history, well captured.

Great pic but I think it is an unattractive plane. (didn't want to say ugly :o))

Lovely capture Bill. I used to see these flying around when I was a kid, these and Vampires which were made by DeHavilland.

I drove out to Edwards Air Force base once years ago to see a cat someone was giving away thinking back I must have been nuts it was a long drive to go see a cat.. lol I doubt I would do that now not with these crazy gas prices. Great shot.

Just for those not in the know... the rather portly nose contained a radar system and this aircraft was a 'NF' version, that standing for Night Fighter... The paintwork it sports here is not quite what it would have had in service.. But, still a fine shot, so no fear there.. Well done Bill... Rob
