1954 Prestwick air disaster
The 1954 Prestwick air disaster was the crash, in the early hours of Christmas Day 1954, of ''Cathay'' a British Overseas Airways Corporation Boeing 377 Stratocruiser on landing at Prestwick Airport, Scotland; 28 of the 36 on board were killed.
==Accident==
The Stratocruiser was on a flight from Heathrow Airport, England to New York, United States with scheduled stop-overs at Manchester Airport, in Northern England and Prestwick Airport in Scotland. Due to the bad weather it was decided to fly directly to Prestwick and the flight was delayed while it waited for a Manchester passenger to be brought to London.〔 The aircraft left Heathrow at 21:43 GMT but it returned to London at 22:53 with a mechanical problem, the passengers and crew were moved to another aircraft ''Cathay'' which left for Prestwick at 01:05 on 25 December.〔 Only four of 25 passengers were booked onward to New York; the rest were to leave the flight at Prestwick.〔 The 11 crew were also due to be relieved at Prestwick and be replaced with a new crew.〔
It was 03:30 in driving rain when ''Cathay'' was about to land at Prestwick; it landed short of the runway forcing the port landing gear into the wing causing the aircraft to over turn and burst into flames.〔
