I saw them both, perfectly ghastly sights.
On a ground tour, I was local controller the morning following a 'V' crash on the airfield. The 'bits' were still lying around - I won't go into detail of the reported injuries.
I felt that there was no need for the tower controller to inspect the scene at that stage and collect data for future nightmares so I didn't.

My immediate colleagues and I were very lucky to join the RAF in the mid sixties when training attrition was reducing dramatically.
