The aircraft involved in the LHR incident was XA897. It happened on the 1st Oct 1956. The information I have states three crew and one passenger were lost in the incident. My source is a book 'AVRO VULCAN' by Robert Jackson, IBSN 0-85059-630-0, 1984. The Wingate, County Durham, incident involved XM610 and occured on the 8th Jan 1971. All the crew got out of the aircraft, but two were injured on landing. The book mentioned above lists all Vulcans produced and how they were disposed of. It records the history of the development through Mk1 to its final role as a tanker.

I was serving on the personal Staff of Sir Harry Broadhurst at the time and helped type out evidence for the enquiry. Quite a an interesting job for a young chap of Eighteen !!
