Aborted take-off, overshot runway 24 and burnt out at Luqa; pilot and navigator ejected safely while third crew member (passenger) was killed. Cause was loss of power from water in the fuel system, from recent heavy rain. Aircraft was en route from Cyprus to Wyton. Was based at Luqa until the Squadron's departure for Wyton at the beginning of October 1978. This photo is copyright © John Visanich, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
