Narrative:
Gloster Meteor F Mk4 RA422, 203 AFS (Advanced Flying School), RAF: Written off (destroyed) 17-8-1950, when crashed near RAF Carnaby, 2 miles southwest of Bridlington, East Yorkshire. The aircraft fell below critical airspeed when making a single-engine overshoot at RAF Carnaby, due to the pilot leaving the air brakes extended. Control was lost and the aircraft crashed, killing the pilot.

Crew of Meteor RA422:
Pilot IV Peter Brian Punter (pilot) RAF - killed on active service 17-8-1950. The pilot was relatively inexperienced, having only gained his "wings" on 15-6-1950 (two months earlier) at RAF Cottesmore (see link #4)
