1959 Transair Douglas Dakota accident
__NOTOC__
The Transair Douglas Dakota accident was an aircraft accident that occurred on 19 August 1959, when a Douglas Dakota operated by British airline Transair on a non-scheduled flight between Barcelona Airport in Spain to London-Gatwick Airport in the United Kingdom crashed in Spain.〔 The aircraft, which was carrying 29 students home to England, had been chartered by the National Union of Students to conduct regular weekly flights from Gatwick to Barcelona.〔 It was the first accident suffered by a Transair aircraft following the airline's formation in 1947.〔
==Accident==
The aircraft, registered G-AMZD, had arrived early on the day of the accident at Barcelona from Gatwick with a party of students on board, and was scheduled to return to London with another group of students who were returning home from a holiday in Majorca. The flight was conducted under visual flight rules (VFR); however, 19 minutes after departure from Barcelona, the Dakota, while climbing to its cruising altitude, entered cloud and struck Turó de l'Home, a mountain north east of Barcelona. At the time of the accident the aircraft was away from its intended flight path.〔 Locals reported that at the time of the crash it was misty in the area.〔
An official at a nearby water station raised the alarm upon observing the crash; upon arrival, the Spanish Civil Guard found the wreckage of the aircraft had been burnt out by a post-impact fire;〔 All 29 passengers and three crew were killed.〔
