Correct me if I am wrong but I seem to remember in the early 70s a Javelin failing to take off from Odiham and departing though the hedge, across the Odiham/Hook road and into a field on the other side. The aircraft was virtually undamaged because, as the farmer explained, the hedges had been removed by innumerable Hunters and Javelins beforehand.

Didn't Ray Hannah experience something similar in a Javelin?
