I saw the pictures in an Air Forces magazine in the 95/96 period and spoke with the editor who said he needed some money if we were to use them. I then contacted the RAF Flight Safety man - 'Wing Commander Spry' and 'invited' him to obtain the use of pictures as they were perfect for a Flight Safety poster.
Anyway, he had some money in a budget (only a couple of hundred pounds I recall, is what the editor wanted) and bought the right to use them.
The rest as they say is history.
Spry contacted me some weeks later to thank me for putting him on to the editor and told me that it was a Jugoslavian military aircraft, and the truth of the matter was that it didn't actually hit the wires, it hit a building on take-off - but the photographs show the wires just right for wire strike impact purposes.
So now you know - never let the truth get in the way of a good story!!
Oh yes and I was told the crew survived.
