Welcome Eddy.
We all look forward, well most of us ;), to seeing your posting of private Spitfire and Meteor shots.

Hi all, I’m new to these boards but was very interested to stumble across this thread in particular. My grandfather flew Spitfires with 243 Squadron during the war and Meteors with 74 squadron based out of Horsham St Faith during the years afterwards. I’ve got some great photos and I thought I’d share one of them with you. This is him and his “Number 2” taking off for a display at a public open day at the base – he is flying the closer Meteor to the camera on the right of the shot. Enjoy!

I thought your photo of WA662 looked familiar, I have a slide in my collection that is virtually the same!
It was taken at Finningley on 19/9/81.

Ah good old WA662- now under long term restoration at Aeroventure.- Nice to see it complete, but it will be again one day.

Great photo Scorpion – u can see what my problem is though – it all get’s a little muddled behind those cans, it’s really difficult to work-out precisely what goes where!
Thanks John I’ll PM you

Bizarre – love to see more of that!
Speaking of target tugs, anyone know where I might find any decent close-up pictures of the TT20’s target gear – particularly the sleeve holders under the fuselage? I’ve been wanting to build a decent model of a TT20 for ages but finding details of precisely what the gear is like is a nightmare. There’s a drawing from the Meteor’s manual floating around but even that doesn’t show every detail.
