1954 BOAC Lockheed Constellation crash
A British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC) Lockheed L-749A Constellation crashed and burned as it attempted to land at Singapore-Kallang Airport on 13 March 1954, killing 33 of the 40 passengers and crew. The accident occurred when the aircraft struck a seawall on approach to the runway. The inquiry attributed this to crew tiredness, noting that the captain had been on duty for over 21 hours. It also criticised the response of the airport fire unit. This is the highest death toll of any aviation accident in Singapore.
==Flight==
The aircraft was operating a joint Qantas–BOAC scheduled passenger flight from Sydney, Australia, to London, England. Following a stopover at Jakarta, Indonesia, it crashed while landing at Singapore-Kallang Airport. Captain Trevor Hoyle was the pilot.
The aircraft was a Lockheed L-749A Constellation, a low-wing monoplane airliner with four Wright R-3350 Duplex-Cyclone radial engines. It had first flown in the United States in 1947. Originally part of an order by Eastern Air Lines it was re-allocated to the Irish airline Aerlínte Éireann and delivered on 16 September 1947〔Eastwood/Roach 1991, p. 232〕 It was sold in 1948 by Aerlínte Éireann, along with five other Constellations, to British Overseas Airways Corporation. It had been registered as G-ALAM〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ministry of Civil Aviation Form 113: Nationality and Registration Marks – G-ALAM )〕 and named ''Belfast''.〔
