Readers in the Midlands might like to know that Britain’s (and possibly the world’s) current oldest operational jet aircraft, a Gloster Meteor T7 built in 1949, is likely to position from the former RAF Kemble to AIRBASE at Coventry Airport on Tuesday morning (8 July).  It has not flown since 1965 and follows a remarkable half million pound re-build. www.airbasecoventry.com
