Cheers Glenn, I’ve emailed CCB re any fee/donation involved for bringing items to sign.

Let’s hope the weather is more like yesterday than today.

It certainly looks like the Forum will be having ‘A grand day out’

Given that the cause was apparently fuel flow problems, the name of the pilot, Flight Lieutenant J F Fewell seems appropriate!

From ‘Lost to service’ by Colin Cummings,

’25-May-1986 XH304 Vampire T11, CFS, RAF Mildenhall.

Mid air collision with Meteor T7 WA669 whilst flying in formation at the annual air show. The Meteor and Vampire were attempting a line astern barrel roll to the left, but because it could not match the Meteor’s rate of roll, the Vampire bacame displaced. The Vampire moved forward and collided with the Meteor. The pilot, Squadron Leader David Marchant and a member of the ground maintainance crew who was flying as a passenger; Sgt A Ball, were able to eject.’

The crew of the Meteor were Flight Lieutenant Andrew James Potter, age 38, pilot, and Corporal Kevin Turner, age 24, Ground support tradesman.

They also ask for a reason when you want to edit a post, but I’ve found that you can still edit a post without giving a reason.

No 310 Sqn. are the only Hurricane squadron to fall into your timeframe, and 10th July was the date they were formed. I may be wrong but I don’t think any Duxford based squadrons saw action on the 10th. It would need some research, or someone with better books, to say if 310 squadron flew a formation, even a non-operational sortie on the 10th, unless you don’t mind ‘inventing’ a sortie & just need a squadron that could have flown it. Does it need to be Hurricanes or a real sortie?

‘British civil aircraft registers since 1919’ by Dave Peel (Midland Counties) has G-AAAA as to ‘X5038 11.39’. The Air-Britian X1000 to Z9999 volume has ‘X5038 ex G-AAAA, used as decoy.’
