There was a Meteor T.7 (WA591) in the 1980s which has since been under restoration to airworthy condition by The Meteor Flight at Yatesbury:

The map shows Phantom FGR.2 at the gate (XV468):

...but according to discussion linked below, it was scrapped in July 2001:

What is it with this particular map that invites spam? I have already deleted a few earlier today.

I think it gets into someone's database and sticks. I usually set the comments to off for a while until it gets kicked out of the spammers database.
