JW411 re. the Boscombe accident ... nearly!!
The Italian TP Student attempted a '2 out same side' go around which was a total No-No!! I crewed the Boscombe Sea King which was scrambled to the bomb dump to try to assist. Not much we could do apart from take the injured Captain (Vic???)off to Tidworth Mil Hospital. Given his apparent condition, I didn't expect to see him around again. If I recall correctly, he was out and about some six weeks later!!
Seems he was thrown through the windscreen and away from the main wreckage - remarkable.
