}}
The 1957 Aquila Airways Solent crash was a 15 November 1957 aircraft accident on the Isle of Wight, in England. With 45 lives lost, at the time it was the second worst crash within the United Kingdom.
==Accident sequence==
The aircraft, an Aquila Airways Short Solent 3 flying boat named the ''City of Sydney'', registered G-AKNU, departed Southampton Water at 22:46 on a flight to Las Palmas and Madeira via Lisbon. At 22:54 the crew radioed to report that the number 4 propeller had been feathered (''No. 4 engine feathered. Coming back in a hurry.''〔''Flight'', 8 August 1958, p. 208〕 ). During an attempt to return, the Solent crashed into a disused chalk pit adjacent to heavily forested downland. The crash site is on a steep eastern slope of Shalcombe Down, above the small villages of Chessell and Shalcombe.
At the time of impact the plane was banked 45 degrees to the right, the same side of the aircraft that had lost all engine power according to the accident report. Except for the tail, the aircraft was destroyed. Of the 50 passengers and eight crew on board, 45 were killed and 13 injured.〔''Flight'', 22 November 1957, p. 793〕 Initially 43 perished, but two more later succumbed to their injuries.〔(Memorial to island plane crash ), BBC, 12 October 2008〕
