The Eagle Airways (later, British Eagle) Vickers 610 Viking 3B Lord Rodney was en route from London to Stavanger Airport, Sola on an AIR Tours charter flight taking a school group for a camping holiday. The aircraft was making an instrument landing when it crashed {{convert|54|km|abbr=on}} north east of Stavanger. The accident killed all 39 people on board. CrashThe Viking left London at 13:29 on what was an estimated two and a half-hour charter flight.[1] Between 16:24 and 16:30 it crashed 18 nautical miles north-east of the airport on to Holteheia, a steep mountainside at an elevation of 1600 feet.[1] The crash site was 30 feet below the summit.[2] The aircraft was destroyed and an intense fuel and oil fire followed the impact.[1] The search for the aircraft included an RAF Shackleton and Royal Norwegian Navy ships investigating the fjords in the area.[3] The wreckage was found fifteen hours after the crash by a Royal Norwegian Air Force helicopter, 15 miles east from the ILS track. PassengersThe 36 passengers were a school class of boys aged 13 to 16 and two teachers from Lanfranc Secondary Modern School for Boys. It was at the time the deadliest aviation incident in Norway.[4][5] AircraftThe aircraft was a twin piston-engined Vickers 610 Viking 3B serial number 152 and registered in the United Kingdom as G-AHPM.[6] It first flew on 2 January 1947 and was delivered new to British European Airways.[6] InvestigationThe report into the crash put the cause down to "a deviation from the prescribed flight path for reasons unknown".[7] Aftermath33 of the boys and one teacher were buried together at a communal grave at Mitcham Road cemetery in Croydon on 17 August 1961.[8] Ewan MacColl wrote a song, "The Young Birds," about the tragic accident.[9] References
