At Last
For many years I have been trying to find out about a long nosed meteor crash that occured in RAF Conningsby when I was a young boy. My memories are that a Lancaster bomber with guns trained on the crowd came over followed by a upside down Vampire then the meteor flew in fast over the runway pulling up when it exploded. My grandmother threw me to the ground and covered me with her body. Sadly the experience ,plus witnessing the Farnborough air atlantique crash whilst I was working at the then RAE Establishment put me off flying until very recently. I have tried many times ,including phoning RAF Conningsby to find out about this crash but no one seemed to have any knowledge of it. Thank you very much for bringing this information to my notice - I now know that I wasn,t imagining it !
