Meteor at Christchurch.

Currently parked on a loader in the Antarctic storage area at Christchurch Airport are the cockpit section, horizontal tailplane and a couple of drop tanks of a Gloster Meteor.
Looks like an F8 model and I suspect it is A77-867, ex RAAF and ex WK685 of the RAF; and destined for the Ashburton Museum. If it is, then it is a real war bird - ex Korean War.
[Or maybe it is going to the Antarctic for cold weather trials].
Not strictly NZ Civil Aircraft related But :-
