There I was, Tengah 1960 with 60 Sqn meteor 14's. Arrived line late January after "cruising" with the Oxfordshire for three weeks with 500 non fare paying passengers ! First job help removed the wing drop tanks. First thing, make sure that they are empty! Next action hold onto the front and back end of the tank. Next sound is the ventral tank hitting the ground. Woop! Wrong handle. Vision of the ventral tank lying there leaking fuel from many rivets, and nobody spoke a word !! Happy days on 60 with the Meteors then after a year the Javs arrived
