Meteor NF.11 WD719 at Leeming airfield.

On an unknown date in September 1954 this 228 Operational Conversion Unit aircraft suffered the tread on one of the main tyres strip on landing at Leeming airfield. The tyre fragments struck and caused the musguard to break away which then damaged the dive brakes and flaps.

Pilot - F/Lt I E Smith (Possibly F/Lt Ian Elliott Smith RAF (168338)).
