That's reminded me. Early to mid 60s, one of the most beautiful aircraft of all time sat on her tail at Liverpool as I was looking straight at it. Such was the speed of rotation, that an engineer on a nacelle was thrown upwards. ( He landed on the servicing gantry and seemed okay.)


Much checking of load sheets by a very worried looking skipper.
