Meteor T.7 WA715 damaged in the, landed (possibly) at Neasham airfield (or Middleton St.George?).

On 19th January 1953 the pilot of this No.205 Adavnced Flying School aircraft pulled the aircraft out of a dive at excessive speed, this caused the skin to wrinkle through excessive G forces on the aircraft. The pilot went on to land normally, probably back at the regular base of Middleton St.George but the unit was using Neasham (Croft) airfield as well. A Cat.3R damage assessment was initially made but this was later upgraded to Re.Cat.5(c) on 9th March 1953 which saw it being struck off charge.

Pilot - Name unknown.
