Viscount Accident Mangalore 1954

Today marks 66 years since TAA lost it's first Vickers Viscount in a training accident at Mangalore Victoria.
You can still read a summary of the accident in a 1955 edition of the DCA Air Safety Digest of 1955 if you do a search on google.
Interesting reading. Would be interested to hear from anyone who was working for or associated with TAA etc. at that time.
Also be interested to know if three engine takeoffs were part of Viscount endorsements after the accident.
