Ricardian,

The Meteors were used in 1968/9 for FAC training occasionally. The Meteor flight commander was Dave Chaiken and the Meteor IRE was Flt Lt Dave (?) Hill. There were also two Chipmunks (Flt Lt Bill Arrowsmith) moved to Chivenor from Middle Wallop for introduction flights for pongos. I flew FAC sorties in all three types. Dec 68 took Lt S. and Capt. W. up in back seat of T7 and a couple of days later in Hunter T7.
