Gloster Meteor

I thought it would be a good idea to draw the forum's attention to yesterday's news that the last surviving ww2 pilot of the RAF first jet engined fighter was re-united with the machine that he flew sixty years ago.

 

Has anyone got any news links or pictures? Cant find anything on it.
