Approx area On 4/02/1957, WS753 'J' a Gloster Meteor NF14 of 25 Squadron, RAF, crashed onto farmland at night at Shotover Hill, 4 miles east of Oxford, Oxfordshire after the canopy detached. The accident investigators blamed metal fatigue and recommended strengthening of the cockpit canopy, which flew off catastrophically at altitude causing his fighter jet to power dive vertically into Shotover Hill, Oxford. The crew - Flying Officer A.G. Levett and Squadron Leader A.E. Hall - did not eject and were both killed. Both crew were interred in adjacent graves in the church of St Mary in West Malling, Kent, close to the RAF base from where they made their final fatal flight.
