Every time I hear a reference to a Vulcan reminds me of the time when I was at school (many years ago).
Sitting in a boring history lesson, my mate who was sitting a couple of rows down from me put up his hand for the teachers attention and stated
"Sir, there's a plane on fire and it's crashing"
All of the class rushed to the window and sure enough, there was this delta winged plane obviously out of control, with smoke/flames emanating from it and was hurtling to the ground. What was also noticable was one of the occupants ejecting. Apparently there were two crew, however, due to the distance, only one was visible to us.
It transpired that the Vulcan pilot had attempted to guide the malfunctioning plane out to the North Sea, however, it came down near a village (Wingate, Co. Durham) just missing a school, however, fortunately, there were no casualties.
Could have been disastrous, however, it turned out to be one of our better history lessons!
