Thanks fetcheveryone.

One mystery i would like to clear up is that of a Meteor that, having apparently suffered brake failure, ran off the end of the eastern runway and slid across Hunts road before stopping in a field (presumably before the rising crash net was installed at the R24 end). But i cannot find any information regarding this incident. The only ones involving 64 sqdn Meteors i do have info on are the following;

23/8/1953; Gloster Meteor F.8 WK966 64 Sqn Hit slipstream on
approach & stalled onto r/w. Wing hit ATC caravan W/O. NF


6/10/1954; Gloster Meteor F.8 WH314 64 Sqn Swung on take off & u/c
collapsed. Ventral tank caught fire. W/O. NF
