Would that have been at Abingdon, YS? I have a memory of seeing a 617 Sqn Vulcan crabbing in to land with a severe crosswind on the arrivals day before the airshow - could have been in '78?
Whatever, the landing was fine - until he popped the chute... I remember the screech to this day; even from half a mile away it seemed loud. The runway was blocked for hours!
