Yes I was there at that time but returned to Manby as the Meteors disbanded and went off to Kemble.

Did you witness the aircrew race from the Guardroom to the hangar in their cars but driving backwards, it was a non flying day due to bad weather and they had all been to Alford for lunch.

Scambler I remember, he was a stickler a few years later he showed up on a Varsity refresher course, there was also Ray Hanna who went to lead the Red Arrows, Fl Lt Lewis, Fl LT Goadby, Fsgt Soames Waring , Fl Lt Tindall, stretching the memory a bit now.

The domestic site was quite big, its a Golf Course and Caravan site now.
