I believe the 262 would have beaten a wartime Meteor.

Now this is just a question, because I don't know, but what did the Meteor do during the war besides shoot down V-1s? Were any of them deployed to the mainland? Did they see any offensive action?

It was a brilliant plane, yes, I agree. The Spitfire Mk. XIV was the best dogfighter of the war. The Hurricane was a great plane, and one of my favourites but it wasn't the best.

I agree. The Hurricane was a great plane... But it was not better than later Marks of Spitfires.
