Gloster Meteor NF14, 7961M / WS739, Newark Air Museum After a period of nearly two and a half years in Newark Air Museum's on site workshop the fuselage of Armstrong Whitworth Meteor NF14 WS739 (7961M) has now been moved back outside. The partially completed Meteor NF14 has undergone an in-depth restoration and during the coming weeks the airframe will be reassembled and the remaining markings applied, before it is moved over into its new display position on the museum's Southfield Site. Meteor NF14 WS739 is listed as a ‘Significant’ airframe on the National Aviation Heritage Register and is being returned to the 25 Squadron markings that it last wore between 1954 and 1958, whilst operating with the Squadron from both RAF Tangmere and RAF Waterbeach. WS739 arrived at Winthorpe Airfield in January 1984 and it also flew with both 1 and 2 Air Navigation Schools; and was the gate guardian at RAF Church Fenton between 1969 and 1975.
