Does anyone remember the date when the Dan Air Comet overshot and ended on the grass at the the end on the Vauxhall end of the Runway ??
Also the Overbury John ?) that was killed on the test flight - his wife Elizabeth, flew for Autair
I was on duty in the tower when the Comet slid off the end but I cannot remember the date. It occurred one evening. The runway was blocked until the next day.
John Overbury was killed on 16 Nov 1960 when Jet Provost T.2 G-AOUS disintegrated in mid-air over Langford Common, Biggleswade. I knew Elizabeth.
