Winston and Meatbox?

Is there any truth to the story I heard many, many years ago as an Air Scout? Winston Churchill as Prime Minister (for the second time) is said to have flown in a two seat Meteor (T20?). During his preglight briefing, the pilot is reported to have said;

"Mr. Prime Minister, if I say 'Eject, Eject' and you say; 'Pardon?' - You are talking to yourself!"

Roger.
