The Victor B2 accident that Benny Jackson walked away from was caused by the captain shutting down the wrong engine after a fire light on take-off, and then getting so immersed that he misread the altimeter. Reading 140kts as 240kts was easy to do under pressure, and if he thought he had a structural failure the juddering would only convince him that he was right. Eventually the Victor flicked over to the left, even though three engines were working perfectly. The Hamilton accident was similarly due to pilot error.
Kind mention has been made of the number of Victor loses recorded in my 'Handley Page Victor' book. I think analysis will show that the Victor was much more sinned against that sinning.
