The Royal Navy (and Royal Australian Navy) lost a total of 103 aircraft in Korea -- one Seafire 47 shot down by a B-29 (!) and the rest either Sea Furies or Fireflies lost in action or to accidents. One Sea Fury and two Fireflies were shot down by the PLAAF, and one Sea Fury shot down a MiG on 9 August 1952.
The Meteors were pretty much obsolete by 1950, except for the night fighter versions which were not used by the RAAF. They officially lost 5 in air-to-air action and another 28 in other accidents or to AAA, and claimed at least one MiG.
