Ex-RAF pilot Norman Tebbit stated of his experience of the Meteor: "Get airborne, up with the wheels, hold it low until you were about 380 knots, pull it up and she would go up, well we thought then, like a rocket".
Ex-RAF pilot Norman Tebbit beskrev sin oplevelse med Meteor: "Få den i luften, op med hjulene, hold den lavt indtil cirka 380 knob, træk den opad og den ville stige, syntes vi dengang, som var det en raket".
