Angel Santander to somewhere near exeter

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.

It was on 12 July 1980 near Ottery St Mary. Aircraft was G-ARBY, and performed a wheels-up landing with no injuries after running out of fuel on a flight from Santander. Details on the website http://www.aaib.gov.uk/publications/...981_g_arby.cfm.
