Observing a large wide body airliner crash is, mercifully, a rare occurrence but to have one crash onto your airfield when working as the Air Traffic Supervisor in the control tower puts it in a completely different category of amazing! This is Adams story of the day it happened to him at London’s Heathrow airport.

G-YMMM, the accident airframe a few years before.

Widow Maker is an epitaph attached to aircraft that present a particular risk to the life of the pilot. Many times this name is inappropriately used but in some cases, sadly, it is all too valid. This is the story of two such aircraft.

The Martin B-26B Marauder.

A USAF recruitment poster featuring the Marauder.

Chuck Yeager in the NF104, an aircraft that would nearly kill him after he lost control and ejected. His helmet was punctured and the oxygen within caught fire badly burning him.

The F104A.

The F104 was the first fighter to be fitted with the M61 Vulcan 20mm cannon.
