Gloster Meteor Loss Germany 1945 or 1954?

Hi Guys,

I had a letter back in Feb 2000 from a German historian from Hilden was researching the fate of a Gloster Meteor on the 9th December 1945/or 1954 not sure which year, but Hans said the pilot was killed.

Does anyone have a crash list of Meteors in Germany?

Regards,

Melvin

Many thanks Col & Paul, I think you are both correct on this one, Hans did also tell me he lived between Cologne & Dusseldorf, the area is correct!

Thanks guys,

Melvin

Allright

But the crash location in the Cummings book says 3 miles south of 'Huckswagen', which I would understand as the German town of Hückeswagen. This town is not located between Cologne and Düsseldorf, but in the region 'Bergisches Land', about 44 km eastsoutheast of Düsseldorf and about 40 km northeast of Cologne. Could this match up ?.

Best regards

Horst Weber
