Pete. Lovely pic! I was lucky enough to be a flight commander on 208 in the fifties and had my very own aeroplane - Meteor FR9 WX962 "Queenie" (with the bright yellow nose and chequered yellow and black fin). She had all the bells and knobs - "deep breathers", spring tabs, clear-view canopy etc. And I adored her. Her fitter's and riggers's names were under mine. Of course she had to be flown by others, but I was able to be selective about who flew her. I still wonder what happened to her her after I left early in 1957. I hope to see you at the dinner on 27 Oct when I shall be boring everyone stupid as guest speaker. My pics of the times are not as sharp as yours and the colour has not lasted well. Otherwise I might post the odd one (if I knew how!)
