Vickers Vangaurd Disaster

[Sobby]

This Vangaurd left Glasgow on a cargo flight to Paris
About 5-10mins out of Glasgow it ran into trouble when the electrics failed

Then the engines packed in and the Pilots atteptemed to glide to Edinburgh

After doing a bella landing the nose dug in hard and the aircraft crashed (I heard the bella scratch off the ground before the crash )

And there you go

Thx guys, if you'd like to get that vanguard along with all the other post war vivkers, buy PC Pilot the magazine

[jordonj]

I thought it was payware?

[Sobby]

nope

[jordonj]

Yeah, I took the liberty of looking at the CD myself...

Pretty cool!  I must have been thinking of the Vickers VC-10.  

For those of you who can't find PC Pilot, the excellent planes are available here.
