Folks,

A friend who used to work at RAF Aldergrove told me about a twin-engined aircraft that lay redundant at the site for many years...and he has always wondered what it was.

The aircraft was without engines and instruments, but apparently lay dormant at C Site, near the firing range. We're talking about 15-20 years ago...

He's sure it was a jet aircraft, with pods for turbines and not turboprops...reckons that the engines were mounted about 18" from the fuselage.

Any ex-Aldergrove people who could clear up the mystery?

There was an old Meteor NF.14 at Aldergrove in the 1980s, serial WS840. The rear fuselage survives (or at least did) at nearby Langford Lodge airfield.
