Vickers 813 Viscount G-AZLT at Leeds-Bradford airfield.
On Monday, 6th October 1980 this aircraft landed at Leeds-Bradford airfield following a flight from Heathrow during a storm and in heavy rain but the wheels aquaplaned and it failed to stop on the runway. The pilots deliberately steered the aircraft off the runway to prevent it running into the overshoot area but it then became bogged in mud and the port undercarriage leg collapsed. This then caused damage to the port wing and propeller, while the engines were also shockloaded.
4 Crew - Names unknown.
48 Passengers - Names unknown.
The aircraft was registered to British Midlands Airways Ltd, of East Midlands Airport, Castle Donington. Following this incident it appears to have been withdrawn from use. It was transported back to Castle Donington where the wings of Viscount G-BAPD were used to make a composite Viscount. This was then re-registered as G-BMAT in 1981, then later re-registered as G-OHOT in 1989. It subsequently crashed in Staffordshire in 1994.
