just came across a photo of a vickers viscount that crash landed in the 70's somewhere in Devon "Otterton" i think not sure.
Think it my have had a fuel problem.
Can anyone point me in the right direction on where to find a report on the crash, ive tried aaib.
many thanks :)
If its the one Im thinking of it was an aladair, and the title I have given it speaks volumes as the aircraft ran out of fuel. Cant remember the date thogh.
