Just east of Jersey airport, Channel Islands, UK The crash of a British United (CI) Airways Dakota, operating flight 1030X from Paris would prove to be the most deadly in Channel Islands aviation history. Twenty six of the twenty seven persons aboard died. Why did a respected, competent, skilled and reliable Captain attempt to land in conditions far below the allowable minimums as specified by his company? The author, a lifelong aviation enthusiast and former aircraft technician with a tenuous link to the disaster, delves deeply into the history of the airline. Recreation of the flight using available evidence, reading between the lines of the official report and investigation of the culture of flying within the airline all lead to a possible answer. As in most air crashes, a series of unconnected events combined to cause this one. A possible faulty instrument, compliance with the aviation rules of different countries and plain old airline economics all appear to have conspired against the Captain. Part Two of the book lists more than twenty other Channel Islands related aviation incidents, some more serious than others, but ultimately shows the incredible safety record of aviation in this beautiful part of the world. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Dimensions | 15.24 x 1.02 x 22.86 cm | | Isbn 10 | 1800946902 | | Isbn 13 | 978-1800946903 | | Item Weight | 322 g | | Language | English | | Print Length | 175 pages | | Publication Date | 15 Dec. 2023 | | Publisher | Michael Terence Publishing | ## Images ![The Tragic Loss of 'TANGO B': The story of the St Peter Air Disaster and other Channel Islands Aviation Incidents - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61F5G+d4MqL.jpg) ![The Tragic Loss of 'TANGO B': The story of the St Peter Air Disaster and other Channel Islands Aviation Incidents - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61VIsbCOQvL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really great read *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 9 February 2024* A really great read it was so informative of what really happened on that day.It was also interesting to know about the other accidents that occurred around the islands over the years.Really enjoyed this book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A very interesting book about a little known incident. *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 16 January 2024* I live in Jersey, worked at Jersey Airport, and remember vividly this terrible crash.
