A successful escape

14 Jun 62 - 5 miles North East of RAF Cottesmore XH613 Victor K1A 15 Sqn

"Whilst approaching RAF Cottesmore at the end of the sortie, all four engines ran down because the electrical connectors became disconnected on the throttle box. On the order to abandon the aircraft, it is believed that the rear crew left the aircraft in less than half a minute and, although one man left the rubber of his flying boots along the fuselage, the entire crew survived."
