The BBC East Midlands Today item is now online through the BBC website at BBC NEWS | England | Anniversary of Vulcan crash . It was shown on Friday evening under the title Anniversary of Vulcan Crash, though today, 20th September, is the actual anniversary.
I, too, was there, as a schoolboy, having cycled to the event. I don't recall seeing the video before, but it looked just as I had remembered it. The accident obviously didn't deter me too much, as I subsequently went into the military flying business, and still enjoy it today.
This morning, I walked around Newark, where RAFA members were collecting for Wings Week. I stopped to talk to the Chairman of the Newark Branch, and found that the man already in conversation with him had also been at Syerston that day!
