Re Post 50

Meteor T7 in 3rd pic is WA662. Formation callsign Vintage Nugget. Air Clues did short piece at the time - combined age of the 4 aeroplanes was 106 years (doesn't seem much these days!); combined age of the 5 pilots was 272 years!

By the way, the first pic was not taken at Farnborough; that type of hangar door was not used on any hangar I remember, so I would think it was Cambridge.
