Summary

Description A Royal Australian Air Force Gloster Meteor F 8 fighter (serial A-77-570) from No. 77 Squadron at K-14 Kimpo air base during the Korean War. 77 Squadron received the Meteor in May 1951. Originally it was used against the Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15. As the Meteors proved to be no match for the MiGs, the squadron switched to ground-attack in September 1951. A77-570 was delivered to the Royal Air Force on 3 June 1951 (serial WE890), and came to the RAAF on 28 December 1951. It was written off on 18 March 1954.
