It has been a good week for Jon, as he became the first civilian (non military) pilot ever to solo the Meteor , when he the CAT's T7, which is the worlds oldest airworthy jet at Newquay on Tuesday, following a number of months instruction from CAA test pilot Dan Griffith.

Is this a former Swiss Airforce plane? I believe so, because there are stencils in German below the French as well.
