    This one may prove to be more difficult than it seems as it may not show the final demise of 'Hanno'. All suggestions welcome.
    G-AAUD The accident is confirmed as at Entebbe 6.10.35 - it was shown from another angle in 'Flight' of 15.12.79 which stated that Hanno was repaired at Croydon! The aircraft was struck by lightning and damaged in the subsequent landing. Crew and passengers were uninjured.

  • Регистрационный номер: NC664M

    The photograph shows NYRBA Commodore NC664M which an attached press report says forced landed 15 miles S of Havana when one motor failed on a Buenos Aires to Miami flight, the 12 passengers and 3 crew (pilot H.Sewell) were uninjured. Date unknown.
    NC664M Date seems to be 13.8.30; according to the FAA file, the Commodore, c/n 8, was overhauled at Dinner Key, Miami by 1.9.30 and passed into PAA ownership on 15.9.30. The biography of R.A.O'Neill (President of NYRBA) recalls that the ten foot high sugar cane helped to make the landing smooth - though the aircraft must have gone beyond the cane field as the photo shows. He dates the accident "July" and confirms that both engines failed, but recollections after forty years may be imperfect...

    Clearly G-ABPI having engines and fittings removed while the rapidly approaching gentleman looks ready to remove some of the photographer's fittings! Readers should not find it too hard to locate the place and date.
    G-ABPI The Atalanta accident was due to fuel starvation on take-off as a result of an experimental fuel vent system malfunctioning.
