Meteor F.8 WH395 damaged in the air, landed at Leconfield airfield.

On 10th June 1952 this Central Gunnery School aircraft was struck by a ricochet from a rocket during a firing exercise on the range over Skipsea. The pilot was flying below the minimum safety height but he went on to make a normal landing, probably at Leconfield airfield where the unit was based.

Pilot - F/Sgt Watolski (possibly F/Sgt Ernest Feliks Watolski RAF (783288)).
