Gloster Meteor F. Mk III, 74 Sqn. RAF Colerne, Wiltshire June 1945

74 Squadron was re-equipped as the RAF's third Meteor squadron in June 
1945 at Colerne in Wiltshire and formed the first all jet fighter wing 
along with 616 and 504 Squadrons.

This is an upgrade patch for the Meteor Mk III from the Nachtjager campaign.
As released in Nachtjager, the Meteor is similar to one of the first 
fifteen Meteor Mk IIIs, which had the same engine as the Mk I (there 
was no Mk II). After that, the Mk III was upgraded with the Rolls Royce 
Derwent and the thrust went from 1700 pounds to 3500 pounds, gaining 
roughly 100 mph in the process. I have tried to reflect that change here.
I have also made a small correction to the wing view.

To install the upgrade, simply unzp into your Nachtjager dierctory.

Cheers!
