FSX Meteor F8 RAAF A77-851

Gloster Meteor F8 RAAF A77-851 livery recreates ex-RAF WK683 as flown by 77 Squadron’s Sgt. John Hale during the Korean War, with markings matching the Temora Aircraft Museum’s VH-MBX scheme. Designed for Microsoft Flight Simulator X Acceleration, it requires Rob Richardson’s Meteor F8 model and delivers an authentic period finish for the virtual cockpit.
