125 at hatfield

I was a 20yr old DH (engine company) apprentice on the experimental testbeds at Hatfield when the remains of the Nice 125 were bought into the annex hangar for investigation.
I remember aircraft company apprentices assisting with its reconstruction and relating tales of the gorry flightdeck contents - or was that just to impress me?
The wreckage of the Trident 1 deep stall accident over Norfolk was also bought there and my overriding impression was of the total destruction of the nose section - it appeared to be have been reduced to approx 18" in height - shocking and very sad.
