Zombie thread from 2009.
Just to add a little info to this old thread, i took Mr Howards advice and did indeed buy ‘the book’… so can now add the following;
During a ground run on VZ799 at West Raynham (787 sqdn) on the 15th Sept 1954 with Armstrong Siddeley representative Mr N Stynes, the hold down bar fractured and the aircraft jumped its chocks. It then ran into the reps 1939 Armstrong Siddeley saloon, with the car coming off a distant second best.
I’m just glad he didnt take the missus along for a ride, and left her waiting in the car.!
