One of my earliest childhood memories was seeing the 'crash compound' at RAF Weston Zoyland piled high with silver and yellow-banded Meteor wreckage...

After the RAF left, during our trips to our works on the aerodrome, the massive earth-moving machinery being used to rebuild the roads was of rather more interest to a small boy though.

A couple of photos of RAF Weston Zoyland here: In pictures: New archive documents RAF Westonzoyland airfield (From Bridgwater Mercury)

Also some photos of Westonzoyland aerodrome as it is now:
