Of the 17 lost I can account for 7. One at Wittering in the B2 era, I know Benny Jackson was the co-pilot, one at Akrotiri due, I believe, to flap selector problems, two at Wyton, the overstress fly by and the double asymmetric, one during a refuelling exercise out of Marham when its tail was hit by a Buccaneer, another at Marham at T/O when a turbine shattered and the aircraft (232) caught fire and the land short at Hamilton, Canada.

STH. I agree I think most of the Manston incidents were not crashes but bogey tipple hook faults (main undercarriage wheel rotation locks) which required a precautionary foam landing.
