My father in law had two pictures in his photo collection showing a Gloster Meteor Jet with the letters FDJC on its nose.
Based on the registration number WF852 I have been able to find out that the place was delivered on 15-06-1951 and crashed on 31-12-1952 (without casualties).
The pictures are not dated, so I do not know when the pictures were taken, and what the purpose might have been for young naval officers to be involved in jet fighters (my father in law was working in sub-marines at that time, and shortly after joined HMS Mercury for the Long SIgnal Course).
Can anyone shine a light on hwat FDJC stands for and what the involvement of Navy officers with an RAF aircraft might have been?
