Vulcan Incidents/Accidents

The fatal accident on 7/10/64 was captained by Wg Cdr Baker who was OC 9 Sqn (not 12 as stated). He took our aircraft as his had gone u/s as I recall.

The wheels up landing at Finningley was captained by John Stannard as he was posted to a Squadron after it and was on the same nuclear weapons course at Wittering as me. As he had been my instructor on the OCU this was a bit awkward. The co-pilot was from 9 Sqn on his ICC.
