Sad to hear about the accident and so glad that all escaped without serious injury.
From the environmental angle those members of the Airfield Environment Federation that complain about aircraft noise will not be sorry at the demise of, perhaps, the most environmentally unfriendly aircraft ever to be made in the UK. This apart from the Spey engined BAC 1-11.
In the AOP role the Mark 11 (or E3) would have totally lacked any stealth capability - the opposition would have heard it 10 miles away on takeoff.
We shall not hear her like again.................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
