Bof - no, the infamous DFLS Hunter accident was much later. I was told that ac from Merryfield took off one night and did some night flying; on their return the aerodrome was out in fog. So off they set for Weston Zoyland, only to find that it was even worse. Back to Merryfield and it was still out - so, find somewhere dark and step over the side......
I was told (by a chap standing behind me in the queue at Lloyds Bank at RAFC in 1969 who saw the word 'Ilminster' in my cheque book - nearest town to Merryfield) that he'd been in the tower that night. Someone phoned in to say that an aeroplane had crashed behind his house. "Thank you sir, we know about that" had been the reply - until they realised that the caller was miles from the first prang. Then the phone went again....and again.....
I was lucky enough to get a few back seat rides in Meteor T7 WA669 'Clementine' at Brawdy in the 70s. "If we lose one on take-off, below xxx knots I'll throttle back the other and crash straight ahead, hopefully on the RW" went the brief, "above xxx knots I'll say 'LEFT' or 'RIGHT'. Push as hard as you can with that leg whilst I curse, swear, jettison the ventral and attempt to keep the old girl flying. It will go very quiet until we're away from the ground, then I'll fly a very careful asymmetric circuit and landing after which we'll leg it to the pub and get pi$$ed!" it concluded.
