WM224 The Aeropark Meteor was accepted into service on the 17th October 1952 and flew with 228 Operational Conversion Unit (OCU). In 1957 it joined No 29 Squadron before conversion to TT20 standard at Armstrong Whitworth’s at Coventry in May 1961. It served as a TT20 at Exeter with 3/4 CAACU (Civil Anti Aircraft Cooperational Unit) until 1968, only completing a very low number of flying hours.
After a period in storage the aircraft became an instructional airframe at Swanton Morley and was then sold to the Kings Head Pub at North Weald in 1975. Later, in 1978 WM224 moved to the North Weald Airfield and joined the museum until its arrival here at the Aeropark on the 12th January 2003.
