From Nick Carter's book
Meteor Eject!:
In preparation for the 1958 Battle of Britain display season I spent a weekend at Valley doing a display there and at Shawbury. On my return to Chivenor, I learned that my Battle of Britain programme on 20th September would include displays at Valley, Ternhill, Cosford and Gaydon.
.....
At the end of the show, with 50000 spectators streaming away from Gaydon, I flew back to Chivenor in time to shower and pick up the current girl-friend in Barnstaple for the Battle of Britain Mess Ball being held that night.
Not a bad day's Hunter flying! He was displaying an F Mk 4 of No 229 OCU.
Those MUST have been the days....
