Avro Lincoln Crash 1950 Winchester
One afternoon in the 1950s while I was at primary school in Winchester Hants, an aeroplane flew over with an intermittent engine note. This aircraft later crashed on the playing fields of the nearby County High school for girls. When we left school acrid black smoke was all over.
Talk was of a light aircraft but I have since read that an Avro Lincoln on a test flight from Farnborough crashed after losing a wing in 1950 at Winchester.
As I can't find more on this, I wonder if anyone has records or recollections?
Thanks,
FC.
