Thumbs down The Meatbox.

My father flew the Meatbox F4 with 502 (Ulster) RAAF in the early 50's.
He has told me that this was a very unpleasant experience.
I flew the Victor B1a in the 70s. Assy. overshoots heavy at night were plain dangerous but we still did them even after a PR Mk. 2 went in at Wattisham doing the same exercise in daylight. Needless to say there were no survivors.
I resigned from 232 OCU and am here to tell the tale.
