Meteor 8 Explosion, Filey
Dear Mr. Crun.
I've slept on it; I've racked my memory....but I cannot for the life of me reconcile myself to a 1953 date line for the above. Be in no doubts, my memory is not a patch on what it once was, so let me explain. I also witnessed an in flight collision between Meteor 7s from RAF Driffield FTS, at least 2 pilots were killed. But as best I can remember this incident preceded the Meteor 8 incident! One of the reasons I want to be sure about this date is because I want to get hold of a national paper that gave full coverage of this accident (done by the Daily Express, as I vaguely recall).Without a date to be sure of, it'll cost me a small fortune on buying wasted papers ! But the rest of what you said remains valid. Only the year still does not ring true.
Thank You
Voyeur
