The Critics holding judgement on John Davis's crash in a Sabre in the undershoot - 1Oct55.
L to R: Ron Gray 4 Sqn, Fred Maycock 4 Sqn, Eric Pigdon 93 Sqn, Snowy Ewens 4 Sqn.   Eric Pigdon had just landed from a Vampire T.11 trip with OC Flying, after hearing about the crash on the radio.   They rushed round the airfield in the OC Flying's VW to examine the site.   When working out how the Sabre had arrived at it's present position they were puzzled how the ground tracks managed to go either side of a complete telephone post.   Eventually they found out that in the short time from landing the German Bundespost had already replaced the telegraph pole which the Sabre had flattened!   Maybe it is the pole in the background?   (Thanks to Ron Gray.)
