A photo from my late fathers collection. On the back it has 'The Boss' This is the squadron commanders aircraft from 60 Squadron RAF based at Tengah in Singapore. My father was a pilot on the squadron and this was the last front line squadron in the RAF flying the Meteor. The last operational flight in the RAF on the Meteor was on 17 Aug 1961 with the last ever flight by a front line Meteor the next day 18 Aug 1981 when my father flew solo taking WS785 the short hop from Tengah to Seletar for scrapping.
