PN - The accident to XM 576 at Scampton in May 1965 was another example of a roller from an asymmetric approach causing unexpectedly severe yaw. In this case the port wing tip touched the ground, the a/c slewed to port, the port u/c collapsed and the a/c came to rest in the Air Traffic Control car park.
A number of cars were demolished and one (a Mini Minor) even went missing. It was later found crushed in the Stbd u/c bay.

November 4 - Your quote concerning the Coningsby accident contains a minor error that may be worth mentioning.

Flt Lt Vernon Burchard was the AEO not the Nav Rad
