Prestwick Crash
I am researching the crash for a new book and wondered if anyone has the following information I'm having trouble sourcing:
1. What was the minimum landing distance a Strat needed? 2. What is the landing speed of a Strat? 2. What was the age of First Officer King at the time of the crash . Thanks in advance. Robert Thornton |
I can answer the performance questions-
Landing speed 93mph-80knots Landing distance from 50ft at 105000lb -1880yds, with reverse thrust 1610yds. Source is https://www.skytamer.com/Boeing_377.html This short article is a more practical guide on how to fly the military version of the Strat- How to Fly the C97 On the same website is a reprint of an article about BOAC operations by Tony Spooner DSO DFC http://www.ovi.ch/b377/articles/speedbird/index.html |
Bit late to the party but here is the official report.

Does anyone know who the captain was on the Avro York flight that left London at 9 a.m. Christmas morning?
The flight was to take AIB ad BOAC personnel to Prestwick. |
