Meteor Research

I am brand new to this forum so please bear with me if I am not wholly conversant with protocols.

My Mother's cousin was a young Sergeant Pilot in 1951, based at Wattisham. On 10/10/51 he died when his Meteor WA787 crashed near Westerfield, Ipswich. My interest in this subject has been rekindled since my son joined the RAF last year and as part of his training was tasked with producing a potted history of the Meteor after he commenced trade training at Cosford.

His name was Robert Mornington Colley and he was aged 24 years at the time of his death.

I have acquired copies of the flight crash records from the RAF archives, which are very interesting but limited in the amount of information that they hold.

Does anyone on the forum know where I should go next to find any other information, or better still, is there anyone who might have known Robert?

Thank You.
