26er,

Just to help get the record straight I have found my reference to the BEA Whistling Wheelbarrow that flew into a large hill in Italy on April 7th, 1965..

It was G-ASXL flying BE2120F from LHR to Milan, Linate. They were attempting an ADF approach in a thunderstorm. They thought they were at the Linate NDB and were cleared down to 2000ft, and next called established on the ILS??

They arrived on the hillside, 2000ft high, at just after 19-10 and were 33 miles from the field and on the centerline.

And the training accident at Stansted was on 15th December, 1967.

As I say I flew with the F/O when he got to the Tristar. I think I would have given up after two lucky escapes!!
