Meteor WL106: Written off 2/5/1966: During take off from RAF Binbrook, Lincolnshire, the undercarriage was raised too soon. WL106 sank back onto the runway, scraping the ventral and under wing tanks. The pilot managed to get the Meteor airborne, and made an emergency landing, which burst the starboard tyre causing the aircraft to swing off the runway.
Pilot uninjured, but aircraft deemed to have been damaged beyond economic repair, and struck off charge as Cat.5(c) on 21/6/1966
