Who is the photographer in this sad scene? It's RAF Scampton in November 1982 as XM595 succumbs to the Scrapman's JCB. It is taken from underneath XL359 and if you look behind '595 you can see a very sad looking XJ780. Obviously, after '595 had succumbed '359 was next. There is a picture in Tim Lamings books V-bombers and Avro Vulcan 1952-2002 of this scene taken from the rear but who took this picture and do any more survive of this event? Were any ex Scampton men there at the time?
