    Respectful, and reasonably accurate and tasteful I would suggest. Still such a sad event:(

    From an African based website…..

    Last week the SA CAA released a report on the crash of Thunder City Lightning ZU-BEX 14 November 2009.
    Thunder City Rejects SACAA report.
    Thunder City was not aware that the SACAA aircraft accident report had been issued, thus we have not had the time to study it in detail; nor were we afforded the opportunity to comment prior to its release, nor were any senior members of Thunder City staff interviewed or statements taken. Our initial findings, after a cursory read, leave us in no doubt that this report is seriously flawed and smacks of a witch hunt.
    Even at a superficial level, while the report appears to be thorough, we have found blatant falsehoods, errors, illogical conclusions as well as glaring omissions. Therefore, once we have studied this report in depth, we will pursue all options open to us to ensure that a true and balanced conclusion is reached.
    As it stands, is a scandalous and libellous work that at the outset seeks to apportion blame while claiming not to.
    It is our intention to embark on a further independent investigation with suitably qualified experts and to present such findings when complete. In the interim Thunder City will seek a court injunction to have this report withdrawn.

    Have any of the news channels today made reference to this most significant day?
    May be it’s not “PC” to make reference to “winning” in regard to a fellow European neighbour:(

    We must never forget….Grateful thanks to the few….

    Shame:confused: I’m sure many of the public would be interested regardless of whether they were copies or the original.
    May be someone on here knows the Curator at Duxford you could approach directly.
    Would you be able to scan and post some details on here – I’m sure there will be plenty of interest, particularly the types flown.
    All the Best.

    AMB,
    Here’s another thought – have you seen this MSN group – could be worth a post…think there’s a few ex-Vickers/BAC “lurkers” their.

    Hi AMB,
    Have you tried posting your question on PPRuNe, in the Aviation and Nostalgia forum…
    http://www.pprune.org/aviation-history-nostalgia-86/
    I’d be suprised if you didn’t find some ex-Vickers guys, who just might shed some light on the subject. Certainly the thread that got running on Wisley produced some knowledgable postings.
    Just a thought…:)
