Dougie Mee
Well sort of...
There was a very experienced and well liked old boy called Dougie Mee who by then was doing a bit of post maintenance test flying and sim instruction who explained what that 1950s period was like.
If I recall correctly, he said the RAF had lost something like 50 pilots on the Meteor in one year due training accdidents. He had survived that period, flown various types and instructed on the Varsity at one stage.
Dougie apparently still alive in Rhosneigr.
During the Gnat and Hunter period at Valley they also suffered significant losses. Thankfully the Hawk had a much better record, Paul Gay I think the first fatal and after that an acceptable if sad level of attrition at Valley, Brawdy and Chivenor.
Think current generation of pilots getting a bad deal none the less but hope they make the best of what is on offer... or come and join us in civvy street.
