Bearing Gifts - I also flew in the three Meteors 7's on 216 a few times and my log book shows them as WL482, VZ644 and WL462. They weren't used very often either![/QUOTE]

Many thanks for the info on tail numbers the Op records book not clear on VZ so that's cleared up also the same single page in 1957 shows the tail numbers as VW472, WH215 so that's a bit more confusing.
Appreciate its a long time ago but did these meteors every carry 216 insignia?
I am part of the team working on the proposed 216 Squadron memorial; and have been compiling a list of all those who server on the squadron to be place in a time capsule. If you would like to be on the list can you send me a private message and I can advise what details I need. I have been at it a few years now but only up to 1942 in the Operational Records.
