C130 crash Colerne 1973
I lived in Colerne in 1973 & witnessed the C130 that crashed at the end of the runway - I remember it well. It was doing bump & restarts between Colerne, Brize & Lyneham when it dropped off a couple of Air dispachers before doing a circuit & then comming to grief in the woods by Lucknham park. Made a hell of a bang! The crew had no chance. My Father (who was in the RAF at the time) was one of the first on the scene. He was shocked for a long time afterwards.
