John, that's why I'm asking mate, conflicting dates here. I reckon the 1965 date is wrong as it seems to have been stuck off charge in 1971 and wouldn't have lain around for 6 yrs. I'd left the squadron in the April before this incident so don't have 1st hand gen.

The date was 15 Dec 70. The fatalities were Fg Off R C M MacMillan and SAC K C Petty-Fitzmaurice.

Hope this helps.

Hi Colin
Thank you for the information, for those not aware Colin has written several books on RAF post war accidents having spent much time in collating such information from the RAF Museum at Hendon and presumably AHB

More information on the books that have been published can be seen here http://66.102.9.104/search?q=cache:SP6q-0Vy9awJ:www.eastangliabooks.com/new_page_9.htm+colin+cummings+aviation+crashes+author&hl=en
