Meteor & Clifton Bridge.

For spekesoftly.

Yup ... you'll have to make allowances as the memory cells fades somewhat.

1954 it was of course, and how can one's brain let slip two decades ... I ask myself.

Interested pruners might like to check the adjacent thread on what one local newspaper headlined ... The Night it Rained Meteors.

Sadly it was that year at Weston Zoyland. I was on a night flying exercise when four Meteors were lost along with two pilots who were diverted to nearby Merryfield as fog closed Weston Zoyland.

Having been held in the overhead position for 30 minutes, my aircraft ran out of fuel and I was more than lucky enough to complete a forced landing.

Any other pruners have info on that happening.

Are either Brian Armstrong or Bunny Austin still around?

Take care all,

Dennis Kenyon.
