Does anyone have information of a Biggin Hill Mark 8 which crashed in either 55 or 56? The pilot was F/O Coulston {spelling?} ejected but died from injuries in hospital
Press cutting about this event below. I was at Biggin Hill and according to my records 41 Sqn converted to Hunters from August 1955 onwards so I'm rather surprised that they were still flying Meteors 15-months later.




Addendum

Rectory Lane, Foots Cray.
Looks as though the pilot chose the only large open space around in which to crash.
