Note of Caution: That particular web page seems pretty interesting, as it deals with the crash of Valiant BK1 XD864 "... on the disused airbase at Spanhoe near Harringworth Northants, with the loss of five crew at 10.38 BST on the 12th of August 1960." However, the overall appearance of the website itself gave me a slightly uneasy feeling, and I did initially wonder if it might be 'a bit dodgy'. My browser plug-ins didn't throw up any warnings, and I also carefully scanned the downloaded 55-page Tench Report PDF, but absolutely no issues were flagged.
I would still suggest being careful, unless anyone else
knows differently.
I believe that site to be safe. It was created by the late Richard Howard, son of the Co-pilot of XD864 who, whilst I disagree with a lot of what he wrote, put in a lot of research into the matter of the Valiant's crash.
