The aircraft had previously been owned by British European Airways, then named "Robert Smith-Barry". The aircraft was destroyed and twelve of the eighteen occupants were killed (all three crew members and nine out of 15 passengers, including three infants).[1][2][3] AccidentThe Dakota was on a scheduled flight from Jersey to Southend with a stop at Portsmouth with 15 passengers.[1][5] With low cloud and drizzle in the Portsmouth/Isle of Wight area, the aircraft notified the controller that they were descending from 3,000 to 1,000 feet.[1][5] The aircraft was seen flying low over Ventnor just before it crashed fifty feet below the summit of St Boniface Down close to a disused Royal Air Force radar site.[1][2] The aircraft bounced and smashed through a ten-foot high perimeter fence of the radar site and burst into flames, both pilots and eight of the passengers were killed instantly.[2] The first man on the scene, a farm worker, helped two badly burned girls from the wreckage; after leading two other men to safety he ran up the road to find help where he found a group of seven amateur radio amateurs operating as G3GWB/p [1] taking part in a competition.[2] The radio amateurs alerted another amateur radio operator in Southampton (G3NIM in Netley) who contacted the emergency services.[2] The seven injured were taken to a local hospital at Ryde and Newport; two of them, a stewardess and a passenger, subsequently died.[2] AftermathA Coroner's Inquest was opened and then adjourned for two months on the Isle of Wight on 8 May.[15] The Channel Airways chief pilot said it was the company's first fatal accident in 17 years of operation.[15] The coroner paid tribute to those who took part in the rescue operation, and in particular Edward Price, the farmworker who was first on the scene.[15] Probable causeThe probable cause was the result of poor airmanship in flying below a safe altitude in bad weather and hitting cloud-covered high ground.[1] References
