Not that one, and apologies for not having a reference - but I remember being shown a video during a lecture of some sort, where a number of panels and possibly parts of the air brake detached. My memory is not clear but I'm sure it was a serving Vulcan - as not long afterwards I attended an airshow and watched a Vulcan display. I'll try and dig out further info.
