Talk:Supermarine Attacker/@comment-2.29.9.237-20170412211335

A supermarine Attacker crashed at Mildenhall (Minal) on February 5th 1951. It was flown by S/Ldr Peter Gerald Robarts, who left the RAF in 1945 and won the Kings Cup race in 1950 flying a Spitfire and established a world record in the 100km closed circuit race with a speed of 328mph.

The Attacker is alleged to have been a production model for the Royal Navy and was from South Marston.

I witnessed the plane on fire over Marlborough and it crashed just up the lane from where I was living at the time.

It is a strange thing, that I find very littlle, or no information about this incident on any of the numerous crash websites that abound. I wonder why that is?
