OO-AOG - Actually, there were no less than seven VC10 incidents, of which two were fatal crashes.

The first was on the 20 November 1969, when 5N-ABD, a BOAC VC10 on wet lease to Nigeria Airways crashed 8 miles short of Lagos Airport. All 87 people on board were killed.

The second was on the 18 April 1972, when 5X-UVA of East African Airways crashed at Addis Ababa. 43 out of 107 people on board were killed.
