Blimey, the memories of RAF Watton that brings back. I used to play inside the fuselage of an old Lincoln there. And I wonder if that Meteor is the one that ended up as Eastern Radar's gate guardian ? A great find, Nigel, thanks very much.

Could have well have been the one, Garry. There were two Lincolns there, one more complete than the other. I can remember clambering over the main wing spar inside the fuselage. Later on there was a Hastings and a Canberra cockpit section we used to play in. We were based at Watton twice, by the way, before and after being posted to Edinburgh in South Australia. Amazing memories this is bringing back.
