Fv, TI certainly stirs the memory.
ACW418, about that time at Llanbedr on of the 12 Sqn crews launched and departed sharpish through the hangar gap. Unfortunately the gee forces prevented the nose oleo retraction. The duty pilot, off another sqn, IX think, reported the Captain for dangerous flying.
I have been in touch with said Captain a couple of years ago on a Vulcan forum. Unlike other spirited flying this incident did not seem to dent his career as he became OC C Sqn although one could surmise that a move to Victor BS was not promotion
What about Carnaby?
Chivenor also rings a bell.
