Built in 1947 for British European Airways and acquired by Eagle in 1955. On 9 August 1961 it flew into a rock face while attempting an ILS approach to Stavanger (ENZV) killing all on board including 33 school-boys from Croydon ages 13 to 16. As with the Man. United Munich crash a few years earlier this horrific accident caught the public's attention and I remember how upset my mother was, being as I was 14 at that time myself.
