Loved the Donald Campbell story. You would do it, wouldn't you?

Just been doing a little digging on Barnes Wallis; and it's obvious really. It was 617 Squadron, (Scampton?) October/November 1979.

But who were the crew? Which Vulcan was it? Woulld they like to meet that terrified juvenile builder? In Dorking...

And now, strangely, I find that Elliott Automation (for whom my Pa worked at one time) may have been involved in the AP? And, if that is the case, maybe I need to offer to do floor sweeping for 558. (We lived in Borehamwood from my arrival in 1957, moved to near Rochester in about 1962 until '67 - when he got his dream job with RR in 1967/8). I knew they did the AP for the Draken/Viggen, but the Vulcan? Did Elliott come up with Autoland?
