Excuse vagueness of following but have strong recollection of reading an article in an air safety magazine or similar about the loss of a number of aircraft over a matter of minutes at an airfield down South.
I think it involved Hunters, Canberras and Vampires. A couple of aircraft were in circuit when the tower informed one that there were flames coming out the back. The crew of the other aircraft thinking it referred to them chose to eject. Crewless aircraft then ploughed into the ground straight into a collection of other aircraft parked on the pans. The pilot of the first aircraft, possibly a Hunter, having realised that the Tower was referring to it as being on fire closed off all the fuel cocks, causing the engines to cease to work and it's demise on the runway. Etc, etc, etc.
The name Horsham seems to ring a bell, but don't know why. Could be a similar sounding name. Does this whole episode awake any memories? The article was a full page, smallish type, so a lot happened there that day.
