Snipe I joined 222 Sqn at Thorney Island in Feb 1950 - we had Meteor 4s and moved to Leuchars on 9 May 1950 as a formation of 9 aircraft in 1hr 10mins led by our CO Sqn Ldr Jack Frost DFC. We converted to Meteor 8s in Sep 1950. Plt Off Duncan Simpson was a fellow junior sprog on the squadron. I moved to 66 Sqn (Meteor 8s) at Linton in April 1951. I don't remember your father, Derek, he must have joined after I left. Sorry to hear of his demise. I wonder if Jack Frost was CO when he joined? Before joining the V-Force in 1958 I flew the Meteor Mk4,7,8,9,10,11,12,14 and U15. Serving on 222, 66, 85, IRE Flt Fassberg and ARDU (Woomera S.Australia).
