1961 Derby Aviation crash
The 1961 Derby Aviation crash refers to the fatal crash of a Douglas Dakota IV, registration G-AMSW, operated by Derby Aviation, a subsidiary of British Midland Airways, on the mountain of Canigou, France, on 7 October 1961. All 34 on board (31 passengers, pilot, co-pilot and stewardess) were killed.
==History of the flight==
The flight left London Gatwick at 20:43 UTC on 6 October 1961 destined for Perpignan in the south of France, just north of the Pyrenees. At 00:30 UTC, it reported overhead Toulouse at flight level 75 and estimated arrival at Perpignan at 01:12 UTC. In an area of intermittent rain and winds of variable force, it struck the side of Le Canigou at an altitude of 7500 ft (2200 m).〔("The Pyrenees Accident" )''Flight International'', 26 July 1962, page 117〕
A rescue team from the chalet at Courtalets arrived at the scene while pieces of the wreckage were still burning. An eyewitness described the scene as "apocalyptic; burned bodies lay on the ground in a 100 m radius around the wreckage."〔''"Le spectacle était apocalyptique; des corps calcinés gisaient sur un rayon de 100 mètres autour de l'épave"'' David Pagès, "Michel Cans, 88 ans, un pionnier du journalisme",''Midi Libre'', 1 March 2010 (Béziers edn) page 2 〕
