Bill Pegg force landed a Britannia on the Severn estuary mudflats after a catastrophic engine failure and in-flight fire. Details and pictures here:

An interesting footnote to this accident is that Stanley Hooker was onboard. If the outcome had been different, there might have been no Pegasus and no Harrier.
