Meteor Tales of Woe.
BEagle,
Another winner ! Everybody with an interest in the subject must click onto
Meteor Accident Statistics. Keep you enthralled for hours (well, it'll keep me, and I feel I could add something to almost every one of the Posts, if only "Amen"). Thank you, BEagle !
I can only comment on one point. The MSG Ghost story is told with alternative endings. One has it that he, somewhat ungallantly, punched through the wall of the O.M. Ladies (luckily unoccupied). The other (correct) version is that he went through the (ground floor) window of his own room, and might well have survived. But the impact took away most of the side supporting brickwork and (in the exact words of my authority: "the lintel fell on his swede").
My authority is (was ?) Flt. Lt. John Henderson, ATC, ex-war pilot, who was in the Weston Zoyland tower when I went through there, was with me in Strubby tower, had been in MSG tower at the time of the incident and much later was SATCO at Teesside Airport.
