The only Vulcan crash I know of was as follows-
It was in October 1956 and I was walking along the Crescent in Aden when all of a sudden this Vulcan roared very low doing a beat-up over Steamer harbour frightened the locals to death.It was returning to UK from Oz on a record breaking flight,The next day we all heard the tragic news that it had crashed at Heathrow with most of the crew being killed;I think there were only two survivors as they were the only crew members with ejection seats.
That is correct John, but that was 1956, I had a similar email from someone else today re this incident with Harry Broadhurst, there were several Vulcan accidents at home and abroad, if we could narrow the date to a specific year we might be nearer the target
