British aviation history and the jet age. Only search www.britishjets.net. A long time since I've posted any news or updated site, apologies for this. What has prompted this update though was an email in with an update on the condition of former gate guard WH166 which was seen recently in a west country aircaft graveyard. WH166 before its descent into rusted wreckage at Birlingham in 1996. I've managed to lose contact with Chris Hundt in Australia who owns the unidentified Meteor F8 cockpit section.
