Seen a good shot over on Facebook of one of the Martin Baker Meteors arriving, weather looked decent!

Rats! Typical- should've risked it. Any other info on participation?
Re: Valley Display & 10 Hawk Airfield Attack - Friday 1st Ap
Alien 41&42, pair of tornados arrived yesterday (Thursday) and treated us to takeoff and a stonking swept wing high speed pass today
Martin Baker Meteor WA638, hawker Hunter ZZ190 where the nice arrivals today
For those who made it onto base we were treated to the rare sight of a Hawk T1 armed with sidewinders
6 ship flyby for final graduation flew early one
Airfield attack cancelled
Weather was rain and wind, with occasional dry spells
A great day and well worth it

Hi. Weather was rubbish but we were rewarded with the 2 x Tornadoes taking off and sneakily popping back at low level. Typhoon also made an appearance plus a Hawker and Meteor. We also got a formation display from the Hawks. So all in all I had a great day watching from Fraggle Rock!

Glad to here you had a good day, would have popped up just for the Meteor and Hunter if I could!tina1973 wrote:Hi.

Did anyone happen to get the Meteor's callsign?
