            Gloster Meteor T.7; c/n G5/356460, s/n WA591, N313Q

WA591 was built by Gloster Aircraft at Hucklecote, Gloucestershire in mid-1949. It was delivered to the Royal Air Force (RAF) on 2 September and served with various domestic training establishments including Stradishall, Driffield, Finningley, and the College of Warfare at Manby, before retiring from flight to become a ground instruction airframe with No.5 Maintenance Unit at RAF Kemble in 1965. She closed her RAF service as a gate guard at RAF Woodvale, near Liverpool, but eventually ended up on the gate at the now-closed British Aerospace Factory at the former RAF Woodford airfield by the mid-90s. Collin Rhodes acquired WA591 in 1993 and was restored by the Meteor Flight group at Yatesbury and Kemble over a 16-year period, WA591 made its first ¬post restoration flight from the Wiltshire air field on 14 June 2011, becoming the oldest ¬flying jet aircraft in the world. It then joined the Air Atlantique Classic Flight/Classic Air Force ¬ fleet at Coventry, and was a popular show participant before that operation was closed down in early 2016. It was then acquired by The World Heritage Air Museum, based at City Airport in Detroit, Michigan and flew in the USA for the first time on 18 June 2018. WA591 was subsequently acquired by Foster Stanback and donated to the Planes of Fame Air Museum, Chino, California. It arrived at the Air Museum on 24 August 2020. 

This aircraft is painted as FMK-Q, its markings when with No. 203 Advanced Flying School at RAF Driffield, Yorkshire, UK in 1951.
