Ansett-ANA Flight 149
On 22 September 1966 a Vickers Viscount departed from Mount Isa, Queensland, Australia for a 73-minute flight to Longreach. Forty-four minutes after takeoff a fire started in one of the engines. The crew were unable to extinguish the fire or feather the propeller so made an emergency descent with the intention of landing at Winton, a small town along the route. The fire spread to the fuel tank and weakened the wing structure so that a large part of the left wing broke away and the aircraft crashed. All twenty-four occupants were killed.〔(Vickers Viscount No. 416 – Operational Record ) Retrieved 25 August 2011〕 The accident remains the fifth-worst in Australia's civil aviation history.〔(Ten Worst Aircraft Crashes in Australia ) Retrieved 25 August 2011〕

Ansett-ANA Flight 149, a Vickers Viscount registered VH-RMI, took off from Mount Isa at 12:08 pm Eastern Standard Time and climbed to an altitude of 17,500 feet (5 334 m) for the flight of 316 nautical miles (585 km) to Longreach. On board were two pilots, two air hostesses and twenty passengers.〔〔
At 12:52 pm the Flight Service Unit at Longreach heard a radio transmission from the crew of Flight 149 saying they were making an emergency descent. Two minutes later the crew notified Longreach they had a fire warning for number 2 engine and had been unable to feather the propeller. At 12:59 pm Longreach received a message relayed by the crew of a Douglas DC-3 saying fire in the engine nacelle was visible to the crew of Flight 149 and they were diverting to land at Winton airport, 92 nautical miles (171 km) from Longreach.〔(Aviation Safety Network ) Retrieved 25 August 2011〕〔("TAA pilot tells of last signals from airliner" ) ''The Canberra Times'' – 29 April 1967, p.7 (National Library of Australia) Retrieved 19 April 2014〕
At 1:03 pm when only 13.5 nautical miles (25 km) from the airport VH-RMI crashed on ''Nadjayamba Station'' and was engulfed in flames.〔
