Air Manila B707 crash short of runway at Manila circa 1979
Around 1979-80 +/- a couple of years, an Air Manila Boeing 707 flying the ILS crashed short of the runway at Manila due possible following a false glide slope signal. I think the 707 had flown from Guam or maybe Taipei? . Not absolutely certain if it was Air Manila.
Could anyone supply more information or link to the accident report published by Philippine CAA?
