So sad to hear. He was my instructor on Basic Fixed wing at Middle Wallop and I could not have had a finer instructor and gentleman. No one came close to him thereafter! RIP Fred...
I remember “Boss” Trowen from Strike Wing at Khormaksar (8 Sqn). Perhaps my memory is playing tricks but didn’t he eject ‘through’ the canopy of a Meteor on 2 occassions without suffering serious injury? The only person to do so.

Did anyone attend Fred's memorial Service? On my way I ran into a mega M25 traffic jam and spent 2 hours crawling out. By then the Service would have been almost through and I was still an hour away from the church.
Fixed Cross,
Yes, I attended Fred's memorial service. I would not like to estimate the number there but the Church was full for the service, as was the Village Hall afterwards! A first class turn out for a first class guy!
RIP Fred.

You could instead go to the BBC archive page on FB and search for "1977: Nationwide: Diane Does It - Jaguar Pilot Flight"
