From: Quite near 'An aerodrome somewhere in England'
Just for West Coast:


We had a press visit ad Scampton once - they filmed a Vulcan which was going to land and stream its drag bag. Landed, nothing happened, so it rolled to have another go....

Wherupon the chute deployed at about 200 ft!

Fortunately it was quickly jettisoned - but took AGES to float serenely to earth.
