Country:  | As for the Mk. III accelerating faster than a 262 I believe it is because that has been the general rule that has been written. Now if it is false then there is a whole lot of false information out there, but you know what that has been a proven thing also about false info.

Country: | Probably because it is British. And if you voted for it then well yeah because there has only been one vote for it.

Country:  | Too bad the jets never met. I mean, the Allies were already fighting them anyway with P-51's! Why didn't they let the Glosters take over battling the me's and have a good slug out to decide the better first time jets? 
Thats the one sad thing about modern airwar. Jets can't even engage in dogfights very well because of the fast speeds they go at and all those fancy self-guiding weapons that do the work for them...... | |

| 8th may, 1945. the top 23 Luftwaffe jet aces had some 187 confirmed kills between them, Unconfirmed? how many victories did the meteor pilots have on this date? in my mind the 262 was a much better bird as it was in combat and shooting down enemy aircraft. The Meteor, What if? What if? By then the war had ended, and we will never know. I'll take the 262 any day as it was shooting down aircraft untill the end....also both planes were honestly outdated at the end or shortly after the war...single or dual fuslage engined jets were the wave of the future.....just trying to hit the nail on the head here.

Country: | Compared to the Meteor the Me-262 was more superior. Depends on the version of the Meteor aswell.

Country: | and there's always the risk that the ruskies would get their hands on a meteor and thus more advanced jet technology than their own if one was shot down and fell into their hands, although they got a fair few -262s as it was........

Country: | They got more than just the 262's. The basis for all there post war jet technology came from the Germans.
