I was a witness to this crash and it was told to me, by a Chief Tech. on 543, that prior to the display the primary A/C went tech. and so the secondary had to be used.
S/L Holland, from what I was told, gave his camera to the Nav. Rad. and said, in as many words, We won't be long, you don't need to come, take some pics.
From memory the front page of the "Mirror" the next day had a photo of the Victor in a low level climbing right turn labeled "Death of a Giant"
