I was a 21 year old Junior Technician at the time on TTF (tanker training flight) at Marham. (This was the OCU at Marham for both the aircraft and in flight refueling.) We despatched the aircraft late at night (and in foul weather) and settled down in the crewroom to await it's return.
Some time later the chiefy in charge told us all to go home as the aircaft had crashed. We were all mortified, not just about the crew(god rest their souls) but also about ourselves..."what have I done wrong to cause this ?" It has been cathartic to follow this thread and to find out so much more about that awful night.
