HP Victor XH618

I was a crew chief on 214 at the time of 618's crash and at the time we had to check the Sdn aircraft for possible bombs


When I was researching for my Book on the Victor Published by Pen and Sword I was given a copy of the Court of enquiry by a Victor Captain who knew I was interested in the details of the crash .You will find a copy in Vol2 which deals with all the accidents to the Victor. The Navigator was supposed to be monitoring the pilot as he had been cleared to do that when on another Squadron I will not name him but he left the RAF as an Air Commodore and wrote articles on the "Men behind the medals." in Flypast
