From what I can recall the Exeter Viscount incident would be better named the Ottery St Mary Viscount incident as the aircraft came to rest some 10 miles out from Exeter in the area of Ottery St Mary. Seem to recall it was a Brittany Ferries charter to bring some passengers back to UK from Santander due to delays with a ferry into Plymouth. Overhead Jersey the captain was told the fuel was marginal for Exeter but decided to push on.......and nearly made it.
