Two VX770 questions....
1) Why are VX770 threads closed as soon as they are opened?
2) Can anyone point me towards the Farnborough accident investigation report which is often quoted but is never identified?
It was published 18 months after the accident as RAE Accident Note STRUCT 307.
It isn't with the BoI report at TNA, or anywhere else at TNA that I can find. Hendon deny all knowledge of it, and the RAE archive say they haven't got it.
Anyone out there know where I can find a copy?

As stated in the previous post, the subject has been covered quite a few times before. There's no mystery surrounding the story and as I said in the other thread which has been locked, the story was told to me very clearly by a former member of the Avro design team who participated in many of the test flights, so I guess that's a close to the proverbial "horse's mouth" as you're likely to get. As I also mentioned, the confusion only seems to have come from Blackman's comments in his book which are slightly misleading, given that they are at odds with the investigation findings.
All sooty655 is asking for is how to get hold of the actual Accident Report - he is not trying to re-open general PPRuNe discussion about the accident.
So if anyone can tell him, please do so.

I am looking for the RAE report, published 18 months later, which many refer to, often differently, but which seems to have disappeared.
