XD869 Crash
Since sending my earlier contribution, I have looked at the 214 Sqdn Association website, where it clearly states that there were 7 crew aboard XD869 and one of them survived.
This is not my recollection of the event.
Furthermore, I never heard of 7 people flying in a Vickers Valiant in all of my more than 4 years working on the type.
There were 6 seats in a Valiant, two ejector seats for Captain and Co-pilot, 3 rear facing seats for 2 Navigators and 1 WOP/AEO. There was a 'jump seat' that was used by the Crew Chief on the occasions that he was needed to fly in the A/C
