Hi Pruners ... I've posted on the subject elsewhere, but I'm asking if any guys/gals on here were present on the night of February 12th 1954 when 209 AFS at Weston Zoyland lost four Meteors with two pilots killed when they were diverted to Merryfield due to fog at WZ.
I was flying a Mk7 that night and was held overhead at 20,000 feet while the blocked runway was being cleared. I eventually managed to force land on the airfield grass alongside the runways goosenecks.
A couple of years ago I wrote a piece for the LOOP aviation newspaper entitled ... "The Night it Rained Meteors." I've now been asked to do a further article on the subject and would welcome hearing from any personnel who were on duty or flying that night ... ATC, ground engineers, pilots etc. Reply here or e-mail:
