Meteor vs Tempest
A friend just sent me this link and I felt it should be shared with my fellow anoraksics. Be prepared to waste an awful lot of time reading it. It's a CFE report from 1946, comparing the relative fighter performance of the Meteor with the Tempest V. Most definitely not a clear-cut conclusion, and in a low speed-low altitude encounter, my money would be on the one with a propeller. Suddenly Hoagy Carmichael downing a MiG 15 from his Hawker Fury makes a lot more sense.
