The Squadron history of 213 Sqdn. .. "The Hornet Strikes".. gives the the names of the crew of the Canberra B(I)6 as Flt.Lt. J. Slabber, Fg.Off. S.Cowie and Fg.Off.J.H.Woolnough.
The aircraft was, as someone has stated, engaged in a "Salmond Trophy" sortie and was climbing away from the range at Wainfleet.
The loss of WT 325 and WT 313 being assessed as Cat.5 due to airframe fatigue resulted in the Squadron being reduced to a complement of only eleven aircraft but with a complement of 18 pilots and crews.
The Squadron disbanded on 31st. December 1969.
