Sometime in the '50s, would be 55 plus or minus one, I was vectored on to a small formation of B36s heading west over the Midlands at medium altitude. I did a quarter attack, ranging on the tail as recommended, but from line astern the vortices flipped me out and I never caught up again - in a Vampire FB5.
