Unidentified Meteor T.7 (probably) at Driffield airfield.

On 28th March 1950 this No.203 Advanced Flying School aircraft was being flown by a student undertaking his first solo flight when he undershot his first landing. The landing was also heavy. When the aircraft was inspected minor damage was found on the tail of the aircraft. It was thought that loose tarmac had been thrown up in the heavy landing. The incident probably occurred 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.
