Safety record of CX?
I am looking for CX incidents and accidetns history. Seems that CX has never had any fatal accidetns. The most recent incidents maybe detachment of D9 duct on one of the engines, hitting a car on the ground.
Can someone tell me where can I find a complete list of CX safety record please?
Thanks in advance.

Warning: lots of pop ups
A quick search only show 2 in China & Vietnam back in 1970s and 1950s. If I recall correctly, one was shot down in China and the other was bombed over Vietnam.

Well I stand corrected. Time to delete that link from my computer. As for the book, good luck finding it in the local library. At least in Greater Vancouver, there's only one copy and the queue to borrowing it is pretty long. Since there's no re-print, try eBay.

Also the Tristar accident at Narita in the early '90's caused by windshear. The aircraft was repaired at great expense. Rumour has it that the repair was done to avoid the record of a hull loss.

The International Rules of the Air state very clearly the correct action to be taken by both the interceptor and the intercepted. No where do they say that shooting down an unarmed aircraft is a requirement. Even if the CX 'plane was 'cutting the corner' it should have been escorted out of the restricted airspace, nothing more. Shooting it down was brutal, callous and cowardly.

Prevous callous crap
With regards to Hong Xing, if you note his/her/its previous posts, you will no doubt come to the conclusion that this individual is either a wind up artist with a rather sick compulsion or really is quite a committed socialist brother. Most other posts are slags at freedom and democracy and all those other horrible ideas...... just imagine, free thought!!
Of course, if it wasn't for those bad imperialists, mate, you'd have no ability or right to jump on an internet forum and bag everyone.

My dim recollection of reading about this was that no, the aircraft wasn't off course.
But there was a low level conflict going on between US and PRC air units (repeated buzzing, some air to air shootdowns)
It was guessed that the PRC pilots thought that the CPA plane was CAT, and carrying people they didn't like (CAT also flew DC4's) A CAT C47 had been shot down ISTR in 1952 on a covert mission
Case of mistaken identity. Note that PRC paid full compensation asked for, and very promptly. The UK government was noticeably slower to pass on the cash to CX...!
