hi all, i've just finished reading this entire thread after about a week, and i'm amazed at the tales of how it used to be back in the 50s-80s.
i thought i'd share this in case you hadn't seen it (which you probably have). video of the syerston crash.
YouTube - Conway Vulcan Crash 20th September 1958 - Keith Sturt
also, does anybody know who the crew members were and which aircraft were used when filming the live takeoff/flying sequences in thunderball?
one more thing, on this photo:
the entire back half of the wing surface and underside is painted white or silver, was this because it was a tanker?
thanks for the answers in advance.
regards and respect
andoni
