Broadhurst had been part of a flag waving exercise to show off the Vulcan around the world, and the aircraft was planned to land at London on its return. The mythology was that he had persuaded the pilot to continue an approach to London in bad weather, rather than divert and spoil a media exercise. The story has been in the back of my mind since hearing it, but while mythology isn’t necessarily ‘truth’, the actual events don’t make much better reading.
