Hello,

I was at 71MU 1965/66 prior to serving in Aden and seem to remember an incident involving a Vulcan, which as far as i can recall crashed en route to Chivenor in Devon, when it went in to the Brecon Beacons. It tooktwo weeks to recover in the rain which we spent under canvas. I also seem to remember being told that there had been a WRAF officer on board who came from Devon and had cadged a ride home. As far as my memory serves, the aircraft went in in thick fog.

Regards,

Lord Caswell

I was stationed at Amberly Queensland and stood in for a mate on guard duty who wanted to go on a hot date with his girlfriend, paid me three quid. If memory serves me correctly there were four guards, we all took it in turn to climb up the nose wheel and have a squiz at the cockpit, as I was a member of the ejection seat and parachute section it was interesting to note at the time there were only two ejection seats I took the opportunity to sit in all seats, when sitting in the pilots seat I noticed there was a console that lifted up between the pilots seat and the co-pilot, I sat in all seats on that aircraft. After the accident a few of the guards decided to have a few beers for the fellows that lost their lives at the Ipswich R.S.L Club. we all got Pissed.
