I was a bit luckier than you. At the time I was working for the MPBW at SRDE the other side of Christchurch.Three of us who were aviation enthusiasts managed to persuade our boss to scratch a few backs and we were thus able to go to MEXE one lunch time and view the Barracuda.
You were lucky! Can you remember what the remains consisted of, and any idea as to their fate?
