When I was about 3 years old, my late father had business interests at RAF Weston Zoyland. On one occasion we drove in at an entrance next to a HUGE pile of battered silver aluminium bedecked with yellow stripes here and there. It was the crash compound and would be regularly supplied with a diet of dead Meteors...
Good to know that WL345 survived those dangerous times! The RAF lost 890 of its Meteors over the years, 145 in 1953 alone....
