02/03/1955 WD484 Crashed on take off from Boscombe Down, elevator locks in, 2 died F/Lt Edmonds and F/Lt Seaman from Defford TFU when undergoing RADAR trials
Just to say I was working on Hunters re their 4 pack experimental 30mm Aden guns at the start/end of main runway as the Hastings in question taxied around us, a couple of the crew waved to us and took off, I watched it all the way to its stall, it fell to starboard, and crashed close to the bomb dump and caught fire. Never, never, forget.
