I was serving on the personal Staff of Sir Harry Broadhurst at the time and helped type out evidence for the enquiry. Quite a an interesting job for a young chap of Eighteen !!

I was stationed at RAF Changi, Singapore and remember the Vulcan landing on its way to Australia and its subsequent return. Then taking off for Uk, followed by the devastating news of the fatal crash at Heathrow. Late 1956 I am sure.

With regard to XM610, if I recall correctly there was a problem with one of the rear crew parachutes. This resulted in the attempted suicide of one of the safety equippers at Waddo.
