The Viscount (800 series) suffered complete engine failure on the approach and the crew managed to land in a field without injury, but I think the a/c was a 'write off'. The capt. was a keen member of the Silver Wing gliding club which probably helped!.
Lucky escape by you.

Does “suffered complete engine failure on the approach...” mean they ran out of fuel?
