First flight.
The first true prototype of the NF11, WA 546, flew from Baginton with Chief Test Pilot Eric Franklin at the controls. An extensive flight-testing programme was undertaken, including spinning and under-wing fuel tank jettisoning trials. Although the basic airframe was that of a Meteor so much development had been undertaken it was ostensibly a new aeroplane.
