Following on from Post 287. The pilot was Sqn Ldr Edward Wintrip Forsyth MACK 31, who was indeed a medical officer.

The accident summary suggests that Sqn Ldr Mack misjudged his approach, as he was not very familiar with the Meteor F4. He is supposed to have made a steep diving turn towards his finals position but the aircraft struck trees before recovering briefly and then breaking up after striking the ground a further 500 yards along.
