RAF Meteor Mk 8 "Disintegration", Filey .
Dear Mr. Crun, Many thanks for your reply to my query. I would not have believed 1953, but everything else (for the most part) is correct so I'm sure you are right in your answer. For that I thank you.
It leaves some questions though. I witnessed the incident from the moment the aircraft passed by the Filey GC clubhouse about 500', not travelling at a great rate of knots, in level flight save for climbing gently as it went south........only to explode in a orange black mass .There was neither sight nor sound of any other aircraft .......so you can imagine my surprise that the Meteor broke apart as in a structural failure. The explosion was as if it had been hit by a SAM!! Official Board of Inquiry ? Intriguing aint it.
Give my regards to Minnie.
Regards,
Voyeur
