My grandad was accepted into the RAF in 44/45 but by the time he was about to go in the war was over and they had no need for him anymore.
He instead joined the Army and was part of the little-known army presence during the partition of India in ’47

My grandad was an instrument mechanic on 263 Sqn.
I’ll see if he recalls the name.

I asked and he does recall the name.
Can anybody else help on finding out information about 263 Sqn during it’s meteor service time.

I guess it’s per image. You can also send pictures to BBMF by e-mail. Then the max. size is 2 MB.

Thanks for the info.

Fantasic shots, amazing clarity.
I love the fact that you can get shots of the tops of the aircraft, there can’t be many places where you can do that!

Hmmm, the site lists it as attending “IMW Duxford”.
Any ideas on that one? :p

I know where you can get a rubbish topside one

Here’s some from an airshow at Yeadon around 1956.
