Gloster Meteor crash in Nederlands April or May 45?
Hello all,
I am looking for Gloster Meteor crashes in the Nederlands in April or May 1945. I get a control stick and know I am looking for any history. Many thanks for any information. Best wishes Rüdiger Last edited by Ruediger Kaufmann; 22nd January 2015 at 14:06.

Rüdiger,
In that period, April/May 1945 there have been no Meteor crashes in the Netherlands. Jaap Last edited by Jaap Woortman; 20th June 2010 at 19:59.

I may be wrong, but I think you will find that early Meteors had an entirely different type of control column grip - ie of the spade grip type.

Hi all,
many thanks. I get the information from the seller and fund the photo of a Gloster Meteor FMK 8 Cockpit located at Fighter Wolrd Museum, RAAF Wiliamstown in the net. The control stick is the same. Best wishes Rüdiger

If you are sure that the stick was from a Dutch Gloster Meteor Mk 8, try to get a copy of the book "Het paard van Phaëthon".
See http://www.glostermeteor.nl/ Several locations are given where you can buy the books. You can also contact the writer at aart.a.vanwijk@hetnet.nl Jaap .

Rüdiger,
If Dutch, then the Meteor F.8 didn't enter service till 1951. First Dutch Meteor loss was on 18-5-1949, a Meteor T.7 at Twenthe Airbase. Dutch serials can be found here: http://www.o-d-b.nl/20060817_Gloster...de_nummers.pdf Regards, Leendert
