Also, would the photographer’s own shadow not be present anywhere?

Depends on the time of day they were taken. During the middle of the day,
the sun would be pretty much overhead. As indicated by the shadows under the wings.

Not having seen this before, what are their intentions with this aircraft ?

To fly or display ?

Wouldn’t it probably just been a light weight mock-up, taken around the
country for fund raising purposes ?

Nice set of photos Colin 🙂

Thanks for the info, that clears another story up.

I think I may have read about John Miller’s ejection, in a copy of
readers digest, a long time ago.

I knew about the Ramuz Drive crash, but not about the Benfleet one.

Whereabouts in Benfleet ?

I’m sure I also remember (many years ago) reading about an RAF pilot who ejected from a Meteor in the vicinity of
Southend. Not connected with either of these I imagine ?, not the Ramuz drive crash anyway.

Seems they must have flown in this area quite a lot. My Brother in Law told me how he got a flight down to Southend in a
Meteor while he was doing his National Service. The pilot letting him fly it back to Norfolk.

Question: Did all 2 seat Meteors have dual controls ?

A group of solisitors have sent out letters calling for people living near the airport to claim compensation, the firm is from Wales! another Scotland!!

I don’t see that coming to anything. Nobody ever worried when there were
noisy aircraft flying in and out.
