The Middleton Ghost.
Chugalug,
A most informative link, which to my mind makes the whole sad affair clear as day. Thanks !
09/28 looks far too short for a Meteor (even allowing for the fact that the white rectangular patch in the SW corner is the Leisure/Catering/Goofers platform Centre of a much later date, and a chunk of the west end of the old 28 must have been chopped off to build it.
He must have been on the much longer 23, took to the open country about abeam the Centre position, then roared round clockwise in an "ever-decreasing circle" of about 240 degrees until head-butting the W wing of what I take to be the Mess (marked "St George"), coming in from from the West.
The other end (05) would be the spot where I disgraced myself in '52 !
dfcp,
Yes, he got quite a long way, didn't he ? I wonder if, in the heat of the moment, he left it too long before cutting the power ? Hard luck in any case.
RIP, as we all say. Poor chap !
Danny
