Heathrow Vulcan accident
Thank you Danny for that masterly analysis of what was quite likely a major contributory cause of the disaster, although I have always felt that the CinC's presence in the right hand seat was another. Others beside myself have already recorded here the tendency of sundry VSOs to usurp a captain's authority, and although I don't recall any evidence of such in the accident report I feel fairly certain this was a factor; after all, the VSO in question was aware there was a champagne reception awaiting their arrival, and he was known to be a rather authoritarian character.
Yes Geriaviator & others, there will be a few Beverley bits 'n pieces to follow shortly!
