I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

The Vulcan had a panel, front left near the radome labelled Destructor. Never found out if it could be activated or how it would work though one rumour was explosive charges in the fuel tanks. It could not be reached unless the undercarriage was retracted. A similar device would not havevy worked in the P3 case.

Wonder why stuff was not just jettisoned. It might have been recoverable but not easily.
