Meteor accident statistics

This subject was the main reason I did not continue in the RAF as a navigator after national service. I had previously narrowly failed a pilot course, some on those continuing were no better than I.
Before I left National service three of my intake were dead, although one of those was in an Oxford.. I believe one was an oxygen system failure, and one a fuel problem.
Mylate brother an RAF Pilot since 1941 was a QFI and had completed a Meteor conversion course but was considered to old for Meteors. His main comment was the teaching of the importance minimum asymmetric safety speed was not sufficiently taught.
