The Meteor had very little impact on chasing down V1's.. They accounted for only 14 out of the many that were shot down or destroyed by conventional prop aircraft of the time.
After the V2 was introduced and with no interception techniques available to the RAF, they were kept back in the UK and were not allowed to cross over the channel into German controled airspace until 1945..
The Meteor finished the war shortly after, having been used in the armed recce and ground attack role.. They never met any of the Luftwaffe jets in combat, but accounted for 46 enemy aircraft when employed in the ground attack role.. it was deemed their main threat was from 'allied' aircraft as they were often mis-identified as 262's..lol!
