Meatbox crashes

As a Fireman at Brawdy 75-79 I can remember seven+Hunters lost , but no Meteors. Although these gorgeous planes were only used for target towing and as an occasional weather kite, the only damage that I can remember these aircraft sustaining were 30mm shell holes in the fuselage(which then got the sticky tape treatment!) caused by some crosseyed would-be jockey!
The most popular ,by far, Pilot of these sorties was Flt Lt Catt , and looking back, it was no wonder the man carried a hip-flask and his pipe!
