Somewhen before 1959 my father witnessed a Meteor accident near York. He lived south of York airfield and his attention was drawn one day to the sound of a jet aircraft above the overcast. A Meteor appeared, diving vertically at what appeared to be full throttle and went in with a terrific bang next to a railway line. By the time he got there there was nothing left; as he understood it even the engines went so far in that all they did was pick up a few bits and fill in the hole. His story has stuck in my mind all these years and I have often wondered as to the details. If anyone can post a link or whatever I would be most appreciative. Tks in antic.
