RAAF in Korea
In April 1951, the Squadron was withdrawn to Iwakuni to be re-equipped with Meteor 8 twin-engined jet fighters. In July, with training in Meteors completed, the squadron went back to Korea and joined the American 4th Fighter Group at Kimpo, near Seoul. The following month the RAAF pilots fought their first battle against the Russian MiG aircraft and this and later battles demonstrated that the Meteor was no match for the swept-wing MiG-15's. The Meteors were fitted with rocket rails and assigned to the ground attack role using rockets and cannons and they continued in this role until the fighting ended in July 1953. |
