I still have a vivid memory of the Vulcan crash - I lived near Hucknall (Rolls Royce test centre) where the aircraft was based and had cycled to Syerston to see the air display. A neighbour who worked at the plant described that the aircraft had recently needed the upper wing skin re-rivetting due to flight stresses...
My condolences to the families of crew and ground staff in the ACR7 hut who tragically lost their lives that day.
