1956 London Heathrow Avro Vulcan crash
The 1956 London Heathrow Avro Vulcan crash was a military aviation accident that occurred at Heathrow Airport on 1 October 1956 when Avro Vulcan B.1 ''XA897'' crashed whilst attempting to land at the airport in poor weather. The pilot and co-pilot ejected to safety but the remaining four crew were killed.
==Background==
''XA897'' was the first Vulcan bomber delivered to the Royal Air Force; after arriving at RAF Waddington, the aircraft was loaned to C-in-C Air Marshal Sir Harry Broadhurst and Squadron Leader Donald "Podge" Howard for a round the world trip to showcase the aircraft's advanced design. Between 9 September and 1 October 1956, ''XA897'' flew to Australia and New Zealand and was accompanied by three Avro Shackletons containing ground-crew and parts to service the Vulcan.
Following Australia, the Vulcan flew to RAF Khormaksar in Aden and left from there at 02:50 hours GMT en route to arrive shortly after 10 o'clock in the morning at London Heathrow.
