Hi John, here is a little news on the Vulcan that went in at LAP.
The aircraft had visited New Zewaland and created a great stir as it flew into Wellington's primitive airport, (not, I believe for a proposed landing), I have somewhere, in my files, the Photographs taken by the 'Evening Post/Dominion Newspapers of the time, of the V bird raising the dust as her starboard wing raked the ground as she was about to do a roller/touch 'n'go. The plane recovered (thank God) but was to carry out the fateful landing at LAP some days later.
Perhaps someone had lacked T/O and Landing experience despite the rank. The crash did however, start a motion within parliament to consider the financing of 'escape' ejection considerations for the poor sods in the aircraft's rear, though as could be expected from the Brit government, nothing eventuated, (shades of the Defiant Crews in WW2.).
Cheers for now, Terry 'O'
