From my diaries

7th August 1965 El Adem: Inhibited all 4 engines on Hastings WD485 of 24 (?) Squadron, we had been running these engines off and on for a month as all RAF Hastings were grounded after the crash at RAF Abingdon that killed all 41 on board TG577 on 5th July 1965 through elevator failure.
