Grant Stewart just sent me these photos he took at Woodbourne in the 1980s after an incident where SAFE Air was doing retract tests on the Argosy. Grant says, "SAFE forgot the safety locks on the port Jack and she came down thru a Bristol. Very lucky no one was killed as there were mechanics under the wing."   |

"SAFE forgot the safety locks on the port Jack and she came down thru a Bristol. Very lucky no one was killed as there were mechanics under the wing." Wasn't very safe at all! I'll just get my coat... |

Shorty Mines has the photos on his "Photos from my stash" thread. You may be able to derive it from there. It is somewhere between page 1 and page 55.
