I happened upon this request for information in another forum:
Hello all,
I am a magazine writer in Detroit, Michigan USA, just beginning work on a feature assignment on the tragic Vulcan crash of Oct. 24, 1958. I am gathering some info here in Detroit but thought it worthwhile to approach folks on the other side of the pond (do people still use that expression?) for any info on the six crew members who perished. The remains of those brave lads are buried in a small cemetery near my home and evidently someone plants the Union Jack flag on their graves every Memorial Day.
The six crew members were:
Flt. Lt. John Willoughby-Moore. Pilot.
Flt Lt. Brian Peacock. Co-Pilot.
Sqdn. Ldr. Harvey J. Scull. Navigator.
Flt .Lt. James D.Watson. Navigator.
F/O. Anthony D. Baker. AEO.
C/T. Edward C. Evison. Crew Chief.
The 50th anniversary of the crash is coming up, thus the article. Really, not much of anything has been written about this tragedy (at least locally) since it happened a half-century ago. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
