The Vulcan crash with Harry Broadhurst on board was in late summer/autumn 1956. The wreckage was collected from the cabbage patch and taken to Farnborough (I was involved in the unloading - my first job at 71MU!)

My dad was the nav plotter (Jim Vinales) the last to bale out of the Wingate crash. He landed in the Cheviot hills in Northumberland with the Nav radar and other bloke and was picked up by a Helo from Boulmer. Whoa.

At the time of the crash of Vulcan XM610 (January 1971) I was the Chief Technician in charge of the Ejection Seat Servicing and Installation Bay at RAF Waddington. Although we did not contribute to the escape of the 3 rear crew members,we did meet them the following day when the whole crew paid us a visit with a few beers and their thanks for successful ejections of the pilot and co pilot. We had a good feeling of being able to contribute when all else had failed and the aircraft was lost.
