Meteor accidents
They tried to teach me to fly an Oxford in 1952 with limited success so I transferred to a Nav course. There were about 20 on the Oxford course that went forward on to Jets, three of those had died before I left NS. ( I think it was Oxfords-Meteors and Harvard-Vampire generally)
I think I was glad I failed, but I would have like to stay a Pilot, and would have probably stayed in if I had been good enough.
