I have to admit I 'pranged' the
real VX275 just off the airfield on 17 May 1967.
It was assessed as Cat 5, but as it was a presentation aircraft (Mrs Heppel) it was sent back to Kirbymoorside and re-built whereas normally it would have been written off.
I did fly it again when it returned to Halton a year later (20 May 1968)
