What was the cause of the DC8 crash?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadi...nes_Flight_402
ASN Aircraft accident Douglas DC-8-43 CF-CPK Tokyo-Haneda Airport (HND)
Because of poor weather conditions, the aircraft was about to divert to Taipei when advised that visibility at HND had improved, above minimums.
In turn that reminds me of the Vanguard accident at LHR six months earlier. After two discontinued approaches in fog, the flight was actually in the process diverting to MAN, when the Captain heard that another BEA Vanguard had landed at LHR.
Hence G-APEE's third and fateful attempt.
