Narrative: Vampire T.11 and Gloster Meteor T.1 WA669 made up the RAF CFS "Vintage Pair" aerobatic display team formed in 1972
During the air show at Mildenhall, Suffolk on 25/5/1986 and when performing a formation barrel roll the Vampire was unable to match the role rate of the Meteor. It passed under the Meteor and its starboard fin and rudder struck the Meteor’s port nacelle. The Vampire pitched up violently and the two crew (Sgt. A. Ball and Sqn. Ldr. D. Marchant) ejected. The Meteor crashed into a field killing both crew
