I used to hang around the start of 06 at Southend and watch the BAF Carvairs and Heralds as they came and went back in the 70s.Coming home one night on a winters evening my mothers car was suddenly engulfed in a Carvairs landing lights and the noise as it overflew us was scarey to a young child, the road was literally on the threshold for 06. There was I believe a number 9 bus which took a hit from a Carvair, but it may have been a playground tale that I heard. A friends father once had a wheels up landing in a Carvair at Manston. They were told Southend was fog bound. He could however see his house, so he knew something was up. A white foam carpet at Manston was laid out for the landing.
