At first I thought it might be an astronomical event!  But these meteors are cool too!

😃 Thanks Ryan. The title intentionally was open to interpretation!

Really cool, Paul !!

Any attempt to stretch fuel is guaranteed to increase headwinds

Cool shots Paul.  I would have loved working on these engines.

Thank you Jack. The Meteor is an interesting aircraft. 

"On 7th November 1945, Group Captain Hugh Joseph Wilson, CBE, AFC, Royal Air Force, Commandant of the Empire Test Pilots’ School, Cranfield, set the first world speed record with a jet-propelled airplane, and the first speed record by an aircraft in excess of 600 miles per hour (965.6 kilometers per hour), when he flew the Gloster Meteor F.4 (Mk.IV) EE454 ‘Brittania’ to 975.68 kilometers per hour (606.36 miles per hour) at an altitude of 250 feet (76.2 meters) over a course from the Herne Bay Pier to Reculver Point, along the south coast of the Thames Estuary."
