Unidentified Meteor T.7 damaged in the air, (probably) landed at Driffield airfield.

On 10th March 1950 this No.203 Advanced Flying School aircraft was being flown on a test flight when it suffered a bird strike. Minor damage resulted to the leading edge of the port wing. The pilot was able to land safely, probably at Driffield airfield where the unit was based although it also used Carnaby airfield as a relief landing ground. The 203 AFS record book scribe did a poor job of recording their flying accidents around this time in respect of identifying the aircraft involved and where each incident occurred. More information is required.

Pilot - Name unknown.
