On 3 July 1968, BKS Air Transport Flight C.6845, an Airspeed Ambassador registration G-AMAD of BKS Air Transport crashed at Heathrow Airport, damaging two parked Trident airliners as it cartwheeled into the incomplete Heathrow Terminal 1, then under construction. Six of the eight people on board the Ambassador were killed, along with the eight racehorses being transported on it. The crash was blamed on the failure of a flap-operating rod due to metal fatigue, resulting in asymmetrical lift.

  • Der BKS-Air-Transport-Flug 6845 war ein Tiertransportflug von Deauville nach London, der am 3. Juli 1968 mit einer Airspeed Ambassador der BKS Air Transport durchgeführt wurde. Aufgrund eines mechanischen Versagens kollidierte die Maschine im Landeanflug mit zwei Hawker Siddeley HS.121 Trident 1C und einer Vickers 806 Viscount der British European Airways. Bei dem Zwischenfall wurden zwei der vier beteiligten Maschinen irreparabel zerstört und sechs der acht Insassen der Ambassador getötet. (de)
