1958 Bristol Freighter crash into hill during instrument approach

The Winter Hill Air Disaster

UK Bristol Freighter in 1958 flies into a hill in IMC due poor airmanship, killing all aboard. Cause of the accident was primarily the failure of the captain to double check his co-pilot's selection of an NDB. Moral: never completely trust the other pilot in a multi-engine aircraft when in IMC or at night. Always quietly double check vital switch selections made by the PM
