I had the great honour of meeting a former Meteor pilot last night. At 93 he’s still remarkably fit and well and treated me to several hours of riveting stories of his time in the aircraft. He spoke with passion and fondness of the jet. A great privilege for me indeed.
Cool!
great.. which squadron did he fly with?
@@1fairhurst I think he said 25 Squadron but I may be wrong. We were at a wedding party that evening and hearing was difficult with the bloody Spice Girls, Girls Aloud et al being blasted at full pelt.
@@np1663 lol ok thanks for the reply,,, my grandad was a meteor pilot also..lost his life in one though sadly..
@@1fairhurst that’s tragic. They were brave men.
The British easily had the coolest sounding aircraft. This, the Avro Vulcan, the Hawker Hunter, and anything with a Merlin engine(s)!
Ever heard an me109 with a daimler engine that sounds very good
Can’t forget the Griffin engines
Lol anything with a Rolls Royce honestly lol
The Vulcan I agree with, I have a vulcan based at my local airport (XL426 Southend airport) the howl of that is amazing, wishing they could fly but people with knowledge how to maintain them ran out :(
The Hawker Typhoon sounded amazing too. I used to work for this company. There should be some footage and sound around TH-cam.
Bro that engine sounds so futuristic and I love it!
The first time I actually admit that the engine sounds nice :D
Not the engine.
My dad saw one of these crash in 1952 when he was stationed at RAF Coningsby. He was sent to stand guard at the crash site overnight, a horrible scene as the Meteor hit a herd of cows when it came down. Pilot's name was John "Jack" Jagger. RIP.
@@sandervanderkammen9230I guess it's because pilots were not used to the jet planes compared to piston ones? I would think they will handle differently
@@sethalexis6741 RAF pilots called it the "Meatbox" (A flying coffin) for good reason, it was a very poorly designed aircraft that should have never entered service.
The Meatbox was a deeply flawed aircraft that only killed British pilots
@@sethalexis6741 The Meteor was a very dangerous plane, it's asymmetric handling was absolutely horrible and it suffered from instability at high altitude, often snapping into a flat spin and breaking up in mid air.
Despite many attempts to improve the handling more powerful engines made the problems even worse.
My girlfriend's dad told me of seeing one crash in Argentina in the early 50s. He was a child growing up there , and they lived near an airbase where Meteors were stationed. He said they used to watch them from their roof, and one crashed right after takeoff killing the pilot.
@@WilhelmKarsten Go away Sander van WilhelmKarsten
Nothing compares to the Gloster Meteor blue note. Air rushing over the cartridge ejection ports.
So that's what those little fin things are on the bottom
@@katzenwagen.6799.o Exactly.
The blue note... a sound often heard just before the loud boom as the Meteorite impacted the ground.
890 crashed just in RAF service.
@@WilhelmKarsten Poor little Willie, or is it sandbum or dr bummer? You just can't get over losing the war.
@@barrierodliffe4155 *Please name a single British company that still makes British jet aircraft in the UK?????*
My Nan’s brother set a few speed records with a Gloster Meteor, fastest climb and fastest above water, they were of course quickly overshadowed by the American innovation but I like the fact that.
wow!
Cool
@@kris8742 why is it rubbish
@@kris8742 Jan Flinterman, he wrote a book about his career, but believe what you want good sir.
My uncle was a gloster javelin pilot back in the day and these were not even half as reliable as the meteors
That sound🔊...a mix between turbo-prop and StuKa👌
What an eerie howl !
You should hear the sound they make when they crash!
This sounds like the mix between a race car and a jet engine combined
Der Sound ist Klasse
I have not heard jet engines with a sound such as these. Sought of sounds like a large truck coming towards you, then tapering off into the traditional jet engine sound.
This is not the sound of the engine, it is caused by air blowing over the 20mm autocannon barrels.
The same effect can be heard on the Hawker Hunter too.
That dhould be a 18 certificate that note, thats just so dirty.
Theres no other sound like it.
One of the best 👌🏽
I CAN'T GET ENOUGH
I had no idea it could howl like the Avro Vulcan...Must be a British thing 🙂🙂
It's called a blue note. Vulcans howl cause of there engine and so can the English Electric Canberra. But this isn't cause of there engines. It's caused by the air flow over the gun ports. The Canberra, Gloster Meteor, Hawker Hunter and De Havilland Venom can all emit blue notes.
@@jhorrorfan2116 Okay thanks 🙂
I had no idea all these other aircrafts could do that too...
@@jeromewagschal9485 yes it's quite amazing. It's a shame here in the UK we'll probably never here it again. This Meteor F.8, the only type that made blue notes is the only pure F.8 that can fly and is in Australia and no Hunters in Europe can emit blue notes and the last one was sold to Canada to become an aggressor. The only flying Venom is in New Zealand and again the only flying Canberra is in Australia.
@@jhorrorfan2116 Too bad these beautiful planes are no longer in the UK...It would have made more sense to keep a few of them in flying condition since they're an important part of British history...
@@jeromewagschal9485 yeah but the RAF has no money and everyone who has flown them have gone bankrupt and there either flown abroad or retired to a museum never to fly again
Sounds like a race car!
Sounds like Angel 5 flying by !!!!
What a nice sound! Looks the part aswell. The Germans didn’t know how lucky they were having these pay a little visit showing of their capabilities.
The Gloster _"Meatbox"_ only killed British pilots... without any doubt the worst jet fighter in history it killed 450 RAF pilots, most in non-combat operations.
Should have sold them to Germany, Would have won the war much sooner.
@@equalevolution5563 There were only two winners in WW2.... Britain was not one of them.
@@sandervanderkammen9230 Hello Sandyboy, as you know the Gloster Meteor was a very successful aircraft having a service career of over thirty years and serving with more than a dozen air forces. Now, what other WW2 jet can you say that of except the De Havilland Vampire. As you know, the Me 262 by comparison had a services career of barely seven years and post war absolutely nobody wanted it.
@@sandervanderkammen9230 Hello Sandyboy, I see you haven't improved you sad wehraboo cope any. As you know Sandyboy the RAF humiliated your luftwaffe dreamboys and with its allies Britain thrashed your nazi heroes' '1000 year reich' spanking the Germans for the second time in barely thirty years and as you know Sandyboy, that's a big win in anyone's book.
Woah what a marvellous noise sounds fantastic
If I was the enemy and heard that sound at 0.21 I would crap myself.
1 out of every 3 crashed... often killing people on the ground in addition to the pilot.
@@WilhelmKarsten So not as bad a record as the Me 262 or the F104 in German service.
Woah i didn't know the meteor had a blue note sound,
Wow, this thing rips !
For those wondering what this sound is, it is what aviation fans call a "blue note". It refers to a distinct whine or noise made by a disturbance in the airflow under some conditions. Like reaching A certain speed. A common misconception is it is the engine only. The Hunter has a blue note due to the GUN PORTS. A famous example is the Vulcan Bomber's howl. Although this is likely the engine here. Chris Cantrell helped me correct the original comment mistake. Please thank him.
Nope. The blue note is caused by airflow of a certain speed passing over a disturbance in the aerodynamic flow, for example the Hawker Hunter sound coming from the gun ports, not the engine. You can create the same effect by blowing over the top of a glass British milk bottle. I believe that the Vulcan howl was caused by the engines and thus I suppose not a blue note in the same way, would love someone with knowledge to explain that awesome Vulcan howl.
@@chriscantrell6983 that is a condition
But ty for the correction
And yes that lovely Vulcan noise.. sad the Vulcan is no longer flying. Rest in peace Vulcan Bomber
@@chriscantrell6983 also doesn't the glostor meteor sound like a race car when a blue note is occurring
this video is better sound than game effect!
Amazing sound
Sounds like both a prop and jet
Looks good, sounds good... Is good! I want one 😁
No more fly anymore 😞
@@seancase1106 Not true.
@@barrierodliffe4155 ik I mistook it for another generation that no longer have any flying
@@seancase1106 That is fine, I believe that three Meteors are still flying
@@barrierodliffe4155 I believe there are 4 actually. This Meteor F.8 which is now flying in Australia. 2 Meteor T.7 F.8 hybrids are used here in the United Kingdom for testing ejection seats with Martin Baker. And a T.7 is flying in America that used to fly in the UK till 2016
british planes look great fr
Em 1960 a 1970 ainda existiam esses a jatos Gloster Meteor aqui nos céus de Fortaleza ainda cheguei ver eu me lembro
Totally brilliant , the first and best early generation jet fighter from 1943
The Meat Box only killed British pilots...
890 crashed killing 450 RAF pilots

The first clip sounds like a b 52
Very unusual sound. Musical I might say.
Blue note?
If it's night time then it will be the Brown note !!!!!
Like an aircraft sound in animation
God that's awsome😊
Almost sounds like a race car flying by
The blue note moment
ホーカーハンターみたいな音
💪😍
Esse a jato Gloster Meteor eu me lembro que tinha essa zoadinha dele eu achava legal isso final de 60 a pra e início de 70
This plane specializes in messing up Messerschmitts and turning them into a whole mess of Messerschmitts.
Every Nazi's worst nightmare
The Gloster _"Meat Box"_ was the RAF's worse nightmare.
Chief Air Marshall Sir Frederick William Bowhill called the Gloster plane a quote; _"a most dismal and lackluster aircraft"_

As for the hexagenarian desk jockey of the transport department Chief Air Marshall Sir Frederick William Bowhill, he never piloted a jet in his life.

@@WilhelmKarsten Yeah that's why Martin-Baker still use two as test beds.
@@throttlegalsmagazineaustra7361 Certainly no one ever used them successfully as fighters... the Gloster Meatbox only killed British pilots.
Sounds the same as the Hunters blue note.
WW2 vibes
It’s a ww2 plane
Giving it beans ! Do we have any flying in the uk ? Thanks.
Not that I know of at the moment
I am aware of three - one two seater that was owned for a time by a private company, and two are owned by Martin Baker and are used for ejection seat trials. It's surprising but many of Britain's jets still survive in civilian and even military roles in the UK. Because of this, they are somewhat rare at airshows.
I believe the one in this video is based at bruntingthrope, think it only does fast taxi runs now though. Think there was another iirc it went to the USA and ofc martin baker ejection seat company own 2
@@mitchp840 you are right about everything except the fact this isn't the Meteor at Bruntingthorpe. That Meteor is a NF.11 night fighter which flew for the same company as the T.7. This F.8 is now flying in Australia
.....and the pod under the fuselage is for which purpose ? ( my guess is a gun pod )
fuel
External fuel tank. The guns are mounted in the nose, 2 either side of the cockpit
Oooohhhh. Iam missing the Me 262 Sound
Sounds a lot more like a turboprop than a jet
Is it just me... or the meteor sounds like stukas?
Are these the original engines?
yes
The are no Gloster Meteors with original engines, too unreliable.
@@WilhelmKarsten I figured that to be the case
Yes, they are original Derwent engines, though possibly not original to that airframe and obviously they may be somewhat 'Trigger's Brooms' by virtue of repair and overhaul. Not that aircraft, but one similar owned by Planes of Fame Museum is the oldest flying jet aircraft in the world and is powered by Derwent 5s.
For ejector seat testing, Martin Baker still and since 1952, operate two Gloster Meteors with Derwent engines.
*There are currently no WW2 jets in flying condition that have original WW2 era engines.*
*They are all powered by much later 1950s era engines like the Derwent 5 and later models which are completely different design to the original Derwent 1 and are based on the R-R Nene and not the Welland that originally powered the Meteor.*
Did the Snowspeeder in the hoth scenes of the empire strikes back by any chance use this as it's engine noise? 🤔
I couldn't put my finger on what it reminded me of then it just clicked.
Too slow heavy !! Wasn't a match against the mig 15 in Korea! The CA27 Sabre came a little too late !
Sounds like a propellor plane lol
Messerschmitt look alike
My opinion meteor was inferior to me 262 but uk engines better and reliable cause material used the meteor aerodynamic primitive but working cause velocity Aroud mach 1 while me262 aerodynamic fantastic not only wings in linate but the body type shark also at our days no usual
The straight wing Me 262 was not a good design, the wings had to be slightly swept to improve the balance, not for any aerodynamic reason, the German jet engines were poorly designed and went no where.
@@barrierodliffe4155 That is a bald faced lie! This false urban myth comes from a single highly dubious source and completely contradicts all the historical evidence.
No version of the _Projekt 1065_ eas ever made straight wings, the Me-262 was designed from inception to have swept wings,
In fact, it's the first aircraft to have all swept control surfaces and a fly-by-wire Horizontal Stabilator system to counteract the effects of compressiblity and Mach tuck.
The Messerschmitt Me-262 was designed from data and testing conducted by Adolf Busemann at the RLMs _Luftfahrtforschungsanstalt_ supersonic wind tunnel laboratories in Brauschweig Germany.
The Me-262 has the highest critical Mach number performance of any WW2 aircraft.
Please stop posting lies and ignorant misinformation about a topic that you are completely unqualified to discuss intelligently.
@@barrierodliffe4155 MYTH BUSTED! The Messerschmitt Me-262 was flown in configurations with 1,2 and even 3 engines, 11 different engine types from 7 different manufacturers WITH NO CHANGE in wing sweep angle.
The Me-262 has its engines mounted underneath the wings in pods and CoG can be easily adjusted by shifting the engine mounts fore and aft.
@@WilhelmKarsten Hello Sandyboy, as you know your dataless and evidenceless waffling proves nothing as you provide no results. As for the idea that the CoG could be easily adjusted by shifting the engine mounts fore and aft it fails to consider issues of wing structure.
Gloster Meteor F8 was so good it served all o9ver the world from 1949 to 1976
*The **_"Meat Box"_** was a disappointing failure as a fighter and never saw operational service in the RAF in that role.*
*1 out of every 3 built crashed or were destroyed in accidents.*

@@fritzwrangle-clouder6033
Don’t forget the fact that Martin baker still operates two meteors that are still used to test ejector seats to this day, so given the right pilots and care the meteor is definitely not a bad machine. Regardless of the meteors shortcomings it has earned its place in aviation history alongside all the other early jets and whilst it may not be the best, so many of its contemporaries had similar vices that are often ignored by those who blindly worship them.
