There are many things you would not want to happen to your plane, one thing you certainly wouldn’t want are bits falling off it in flight. The Story of British European Airways Flight 411 will be at time of recording the earliest incident in aviation history we have covered on the channel. It’s a Disaster which is one of the deadliest Disasters to occur in the British City of Manchester. According to local sources, many people including locals, do not have any knowledge of the event.
Occurring in 1957, air accidents were on average more common relative to the amount of flights performed on a daily basis today. Sources are limited but we can delve into the history of the flight, the aircraft and what happened during the accident. At a quick glance of research we know something fell off the plane. We’ll examine how this damaged the pilot’s ability to fly the plane leading to disaster.

I feel sorry for Wally Wilding, losing your own family from the fault of others despite trying your best to do prevent it.
"The man who raised concerns survived, as he was not home at the time."
The man who lost his family after his protests about safety for the homes near the airport... did he ever pursue any legal action against BEA? I imagine the local courts would have been very sympathetic to his situation and a jury surly would support him.
as a (relatively nearby, we're basically being swallowed by manchester at this point) local, can say i hadn't heard of this one! great video and can imagine the research for this one would've been tricky/interesting to do!
Poor Wally. He tried to warn them. RIP to his family.
In 1964, I flew from Oahu to Kailua/Kona on the Big Island aboard a Vickers Viscount. I was perhaps 11yo at the time. My most vivid memory of the flight was a steady stream of clouds pouring from the top of the windows to the armrests. This was my first ever flight in a commercial airliner, and I asked my dad what this stuff was, and should it be doing that?
Your effort to find content that hasn't been made popular by syndication is appreciated, thank you.
I can't believe I've never heard of this disaster! There's not even a memorial at the Airport Pub (located at the foot of the runway) that I've seen :(
I binge watch like half your videos every other week because they're just so well made and enticing. If I had to suggest a video, I'd say Pulkovo Flight 612 because it's a really good example of pilot error and pilot attitude.
Poor Wally, he should have just packed up his family and moved when his concerns weren’t being addressed. Never let your gut instincts go unheeded.
Remember hearing about the British plane the Comet and how it was the windows, their design that caused the plane to explosively decompressed.
My late grandfather was one of the firemen based at Ringway who had to rescue passengers and deal with the crash aftermath.. He told me stories of trying to peal the panels of the top of the aircraft to get to the passengers. I've also read very little of this crash but it was always a known story he told us as it took out a few houses on the approach. Fantastic channel, I found this video completely by accident.
In the early 80's the Viscount used to be a regular visitor to my local airport Maastricht Aachen EHBK in the south east of the Netherlands. Sir Richard Brandson openend a new line from Gatwick to Newark, and a feederline from Maastricht to Gatwick. At first Virgin used BAC 1-11 for the feederline, but than changed over to the Vickers Viscount. Also in BEA liveries!
The Vickers Viscount had an horriffic safety record, even by the standards of the time. It had a hull loss rate of about 30%. An Aer Lingus Viscount crashed en route to London in 1968 with the loss of 61 people. It is now thought that metal fatigue was responsible.
I can't believe I've never heard of this, or Wally. And yet mostly everyone has heard of the crash of '58. Unbelievable! Thanks for making this video 👌👍
Hi from Pennsylvania! Worked in and around south Manchester for years and never knew about this disaster, in fact I sometimes parked near the end of Shadow moss road to watch the planes land, especially interesting in stormy weather!
No air crash should ever be forgotten 😢
Absolutely LOVE these lesser known, old stories! These people also needs to be remembered!!
