The Crash of Victor XL159. Terror in the Skies over Stubton as Victor B2 Bomber Crashes

Рет қаралды 124,535

Күн бұрын

A Handley Page Victor B2 Bomber was on a routine Test Flight in March of 1962 when disaster struck.
In the late 1950s, Britain had brought into service the Handley Page Victor to serve as part of the V-Force, Britain's Nuclear Deterrence. The Victor B1 entered service with the Royal Air Force in 1958 but was soon being updated to improve performance.
The Victor B2 was undergoing evaluation tests when this accident occurred.
The Victor B2 aircraft was performing low speed handling tests to certify a new wing design of the nuclear bomber aircraft. In an instant the routine test for the Handley Page Victor bomber aircraft went horribly wrong.
The air crash investigation determined the when the aircraft was lowering it's speed, it inadvertently entered a deep stall and a flat spin. Despite using stall recovery procedures there was nothing the pilot or co-pilot could do to get the Victor Bomber out of the still.
Below them was the village of Stubton, Northamptonshire and Home Farm. Their quiet day was shattered as a result of the Victor crash.

I was in Primary school living in Stubton when this happened. My next door neighbours were the ones killed. I still remember the horror of that day. My father was teaching in the boarding school (StubtonHall) and he saw and heard the plane approaching and thought it would land on the school. The flight crew almost succeeded in getting clear of the village to land in a field but the tail plane caught on the garage of the farmhouse and tipped down. For years I was terrified whenever I heard a jet flying overhead.. Every Thursday the RAF performed test flights .. The planes were so low when they passed over our house that I could see markings on the fuselage from my bedroom window. Thank you for making this video. I have been trying to find details of this story for years in order to come to terms with my childhood memories.

I hear you pal 👍 My grandad and his brothers lived on Laughton Crescent in Hucknall , on the approach to the Aerodrome ( The one that got away - P51's fitted with Merlins etc). My Uncle Len was in the bath, when a aircraft crashed on the house next door and blew him out of the bath. I think it was a Fairy Battle or something similar with one of the many Polish air crew aboard. Thet'd run out of fuel on their approach, and crashed into the house next door to my Grandads. The mother, father and four children were screaming, trapped in the wreckage, all perished. It's only in the last few years that the family have had a proper headstone. Same place different story, my maternal great grandfather worked in the Rolls Royce canteen at Hucknall during WW2. My mam said that he came home one day exclaiming " We've caught one"! Reffering to ' Frans Von Werra' alias Hardy Kruger 😂 I don't half go on aye 🙄 anyroad, thanks for your recollection and God bless thee and thine 😉👍

The Handley Page Halifax had rudder stall problems with its twin tail. It took many lives until the problem was identified and then more lives while testing the variants leading up to the ultimate D tail design. (A Halifax survived at the north end of Radlett aerodrome until near its closure. The nose survives in the IWM in London).

Another fantastic and informative video. My Great uncle was an RAF Engineer during the 1950s. He worked on all three V bombers. He said his favourite out of the trio was the Valiant. Because it was basic, easy to repair and always worked. Whilst his least favourite was the Victor. It looked good, When Americans saw it for the first time, they would usually exclaim "WOW! Even on the ground, that thing looks like it's going a thousand miles an hour!" But aesthetics aside. The Victor was a pain in the arse to work on. Overly complex, always going wrong, and with the engines buried in the wing, as a pose to nacelles. Even basic maintenance, would make even the most patient mechanic, want to tear his own eyes out.

They looked very futuristic at the time. Sadly Britain barely makes any large aircraft any more and both airfields attached to those companies have long gone. We in Britain don't seem to care for making things any more.

I remember this incident very well, I grew up in the next village, Brandon and my dad worked for the farmer, he was actually in the farm yard when the Victor crashed, he was more fortunate than some of the people, he dived under a trailer as it came down. As others have said, Stubton is in Lincolnshire, and given how rural its location is and the relatively small size of the village it was absolutely “Sod’s Law” that it came down plumb in the middle of the village.

@brettbuck7362 Ай бұрын

Which raises an obvious question - why where they doing flight tests over populated areas?! Last I checked, The UK is a tiny island, there are all sorts of nice empty oceans over which you can to any test, and still be in sight of land in an emergency. This is hardly the only case where various flight tests went wrong - and they often do - and they ended up crashing into something on the ground. The US does it over land, but over land that is generally completely empty, not a densely-packed country where even "the countryside" is more densely populated than many of our suburbs. It just makes no sense.

Striking how deep-stall tests can be condoned at 16,000 ft over populated areas. Even back then, they knew better.

@GRAHAMAUS Ай бұрын

Deep stalls were not a widely understood phenomenon at that time. They caused the loss of the prototype BAC 1-11 as well as the Staines air disaster (in1972, when deep stalls were understood, but they nevertheless got into one due to premature retraction of the Trident's leading edge slats). On this occasion they were not conducting a deliberate deep stall test - failure to monitor the airspeed on a standard stall test led to a flat spin and accidental deep stall. It was extremely unlucky that it hit a village among thousands of acres of wide flat fields.

It wasn't a deep stall test. The pilots went below the intended airspeed for the test and got into a deep stall.

Some 35 years ago, as a young first officer on L1011 Tristars, I flew with Captain John Tank. I remember him as a very pleasant man to fly with. I remember him telling me the story of this incident. One amusing part was that when he landed he gathered up his parachute in his arms and walked along a country lane to a bus stop where he politely joined the queue. Those in the queue paid little or no attention to a man with a parachute. Quite normal.

HS Trident Papa India at Staines shortly after take off was a deep stall crash after the captain ordered the leading edge slats to be retracted without enough airspeed. 1963 Development BAC 1-11 Hotel Golf at Chicklade in Witshire was the same, while investigating low speed handling in various configurations. The CAA mandated stick shakers on the control column and a stick pusher to force the nose down well before a stall could develop.

@rsambrook Ай бұрын

I expect the stall descent rate was more likely 6,000 ‘/min. The standard approach rate of decent is about 700’/min (130-150kts on 3deg slope). Aircraft with T-tails that risk losing elevator authority in the stall are required to have a stick pusher to prevent entering the stall. Usually a stick push would occur when AoA exceeds 13deg (approx). The Trident Stains crash had its stick pusher deactivated during a low level deep stall event. (Lots-of human factors in that one).

6 years from first flight to service. Not very impressive.

'A deep stall is especially dangerous for aircraft that have a high T-tail design' It only occurs in aircraft with a high T-tail design.

The volume for this video is extremely low. My phone volume is as high as it will go. Goodbye

Sorry to hear that. It must be a problem with your hardware. I always mix and process my audio in Cubase to an output of 0db and it is also processed through a compressor to keep it stable. I always watch the end rendered video myself for a quality check before uploading and out of well over 20 thousand views, you are the only one to experience low volume.

Rural Lincolnshire ! Nottinghamshire is about 2 1/2 miles to the West. Bloody KZfaq creators, honestly. 🙈

Rural = countryside And Lincolnshire is definitely countryside And the boarder runs across from Claypole towards Barnby on the Willow.. So about 1/2 a mile away I'm from Newark and we class it as the boarder of Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire 😊
