Dear All

After joining the forum, I would like to know if anyone has a photograph of Vickers Valiant XD 864.

In short i've researched the crash of the aircraft at RAF Spanhoe on August 12, 1960 at 10:38, just 3 minutes after take off from RAF Wittering killing all crew on board.

I have met some of the crew families and attended the 50th anniversary Memorial Service.

I have read all of the documents on the net but the main thing I would like is a photo of the plane pre crash.

I've contact Cosford, Hendon, Honington, Wittering, BAE Systems, the Air Historical Society, Newark (V Force Reunion) and a few individuals but to no avail.

Please has someone got an image of this aircraft they could share.

Regards and thanks in advance.
