A fellow aviation enthusiast and I used to cycle to Lasham or Blackbushe when we were allowed out of school at weekends. The photo of me standing on the wing of a Meteor IV was taken in 1952 or 1953. There used to be a Lancaster parked next to it, unfortunately the photos have been lost.
Little did I know that five or six years later I would be patrolling over Cyprus in a Meteor F8.
I bought a very nice 1/100 scale 74 Sqn Meteor F8 diecast model by Amer Com on Amazon recently. I think it is also available on eBay - priced about £12.
