I am trying to trace the photographer who took a sequence of photographs of the incident. I have a colour photocopy of one of the photographs, but it is of poor quality. If anyone has any details of the incident, or the details of the photographer who was local to the area, please let me know. I believe the Jaguar pilot was Flt. Lt. A. Mannheim, and the Tornado crew were Flt Lt. N. Campion (Pilot) and Flt Lt. J. Head (Navigator).
