On the morning of 3 November 1950, the Lockheed L-749A Constellation Malabar Princess registration VT-CQP, piloted by chief pilot Alan R. Saint 34 Years, British and co-pilot V. Y. Korgaokar, carrying 40 passengers and 8 crew on the route Bombay-Istanbul-Geneva-London, while flying over France, crashed into the Mont Blanc mountain, killing all on board.[1][2][3] The accidentThe last transmission from the aircraft, received by controllers at Grenoble and Geneva, was "I am vertical with Voiron, at 4700 meters altitude." at 10:43 a.m. The "Malabar Princess" hit the face of the Rocher de la Tournette {{convert|4677|m|ft|0|abbr=on}} on the French side of Mont Blanc.[2] Stormy weather prevented immediate rescue efforts; debris was located by a Swiss plane on 5 November, rescue parties reached it another two days later.[2] There were no survivors. Sixteen years later, Air India Flight 101 crashed in almost exactly the same spot.[4] In September 2013, a climber discovered a cache of jewellery that is speculated to have been aboard one of these two flights.[5] Pop culture references
