Does anyone know what font can be used for the Gloster Meteor (Queenie)? I have a few that come close but they're either too bold or the letter style is not exactly the same.
 
Sure looks a bit like RAF_PW_ATH ... with some editing on the F and the Q?

Volare Products has one called RAF Post WWII. Although the "Q" doesn't have the point on the tail as on the Meteor in the photo.
 
Well, not quite perfect. I installed the font, verified it was installed and went back to my work on the T7. . .the font would not display. I could type in any other font, but if I rolled it back to the RAF font, it disappeared. No clue why that font didn't want to work, as all appearances showed it was no different than any of the others. So I went looking again and found a download of quite a few fonts from this page:
https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/31234-luftwaffe-raf-fonts/

Downloaded and installed those fonts (which contained the same RAF font). There were 8 fonts in that package, 3 of those were RAF. . .I could use any of those except the RAF. . .none of them would display. I finally made a compromise with the one labeled "Blockschrift für Flugzeuge". Not perfect, but its better than what I had and for me. . ."close enough for government work".
 
If that's the same font set I've got I think it has either only the capital letters, or only lower case (but they're actually capital) so if you have caps-lock or shift to get the upper case it doesn't show. I've also had problems with it in photoshop to the extent it's easier to write what I want in Word and then copy and paste into photoshop where it then shows up!
