The Valetta, it was, at 'Weeton Camp' as we locals called it, 1962 ish.
M7469, WD168. The gate guardians werer Hunter F5 WP147, and Meteor F4 RA449. The Lincoln mentioned was RF510. I don't remember all this from when I was 12, a couple of years ago I was given a list of aircraft at Weeton in the late 50s - early 60s when I was trying to determine whether the bomber I remember there was a Stirling or not. The list makes interesting reading, it includes lists of aircraft that took part in flying displays at Battle of Britain days. The one for September 1958 includes one each of the V bombers, Javelins, Hunters, Vampire, Canberra, Meteor, Comet, Hastings, Lincoln and Shackleton, and two types I'm not farmilliar with,
3 RB66s from 10TRW Alconbury, and one KB50J from 420ARS Sculthorpe.
Can anyone enlighten me on those?
The Meteor in the other photo was at Kirkham.
