Derek and all the others that have sent emails, the accident that Harry Broadhurst survived was in 1956, this accident at Heathrow, can be discounted. There were several other Vulcan accidents the one I am trying to narrow down occurred in Co Durham, it appears difficult to get much gen off the web re this prang.

Thanks to everyone for their help so far.........

It is not unlikely that the recovered wreckage was from Heathrow.The accident investigators often keep wreckage for many years before they release it. They examine every scrap of metal minutely and learn all they can from it.As this was the first Vulcan to crash, they would be extremely thorough.One of the crew was a technical advisor from Woodford and he is buried in the "Avro" plot in the local churchyard.I have contacts at BAE systems,and I hope to gain further information.

Have heard today that a Vulcan crashed at Rhosneigr whilst in circuit at RAF Valley in 1964, was this the one?
