Hello Clunkdriver, did you ever have your photo taken with Roger at the Gliding Club, when a chap called Brennan visited (think he was luftwaffe) - it went into the local paper? Plane Roger crashed in was meteor 8 no.WA855 - a reject for Paris trip, having failed drop-tank test, so Roger, desperate to fly again after being grounded for low-flying, took it up instead of another Meteor that passed the test and went to France (I assume!). Of course, the plane was air-worthy when it took off from Biggin, but an hour later something happened (still trying to work out what), and he crashed it in Sidcup (Foots Cray), landing in ejector seat through trees onto tarmac driveway of a rectory. I have the photo of the Gliding Club, by the way, and would be glad to send if we are able to link up through this website? Plus anything else you would like to know, I will do my best to answer.
