G-AOID

The A/C G-AOID was written off at Istanbul on a Far East trooping flight operated by Caledonian Airways. It hit the lip landing on R/W 06 and ground looped. After evacuation the last man on board was a steward called Lionel Hedy but unfortunately the bar money went up in flames! Lionel died in the Recoat Britannia crash at Boston.
