Lightning, Canberra and Buccaneer among others. Apparently, the Victor charged down the runway where there was a strong crosswind and rotated. A lightly loaded Victor II would just leap into the air. It landed back on the ground after its brief flight, shot off the runway and came to rest within the airfield boundary. John B |
