Re post #12 the mishap at West Raynham involving the Armstrong Siddeley reps car being chewed by a wayward aeroplane was actually Wyvern S.4 VZ799 of the resident 787 Sqdn Naval Air Fighting Development Unit on the 15th September 1954.
By the way this is an amazing thread, really enjoying those stories and memories of the dear old Gannet. Thanks to all of you.
