Victor/Canberra collision near Marham, 1968.
Hello all.
First post obviously, with a request for some help with research:
XH646 Victor B2 collided with a Canberra on the night of 19 August 1968 near the village of Holt in Norfolk. Both crews were killed outright. My uncle was the P2 of the Victor and I would like to be able to learn more about that fateful night.
I have 'Googled' and gleaned some information, as yet I haven't chased any RAF sources, although this could be the next step.
I believe the Victor was from Marham and the Canberra from Bruggen, the Victor crew were on a departure climb out from Marham during atrocious weather. A radio call from XH646 was heard, "Passing 3,500 ft", this was the last received transmission.
I would be indebted to any PPruners who can help me out by correcting the above, sharing experience, etc or just where to look next.
Thanks in advance.
