BEA Vickers Viscount 701 (G-ALWE) Airliner crashed into houses in Shadowmoss Road, Wythenshawe in March 1957 On March 14 1957 at 13:46pm Flight 441, was reaching the end of a scheduled passenger flight to Ringway Airport (Manchester Airport) after a trip from Schiphol International Airport, Amsterdam. Roughly a mile from the threshold of the runway it was making a perfectly normal approach when it made a sudden right turn at a steep downward angle and the right wingtip clipped the ground. With the starboard wing furrowing the earth and breaking up, the aircraft, obviously completely out of control, went on until it struck some houses, demolishing two of them (in one of which a woman and her infant son were killed). The aircraft came to rest in the ruins of the houses and immediately caught fire and set fire to the houses. All the crew members and passengers were killed in the accident. The position of the final crash was about 900 yards short of the runway and 200 yards to the right of its extended center line. The M.E.N reported how a year before the crash, ex-airport fireman Wally Wilding had launched a petition protesting about the dangers of low-flying aircraft. His fears came to pass in the most tragic way - it was his wife and two-year-old son who were killed in one of the houses that the plane struck. The disaster was front page news in the Manchester Evening News, yet many people living in the area have no knowledge of the tragedy. At the time there was no mass media coverage. Yet the Viscount Discovery was BEA’s flagship plane. It was the first of its kind to crash. You saw models of that plane in the windows of travel agent shops. The cause of the accident was the fracture, due to fatigue, of the 9/16 inch bolt holding the bottom of the No. 2 starboard flap unit. The flaps on the plane were held in by one bolt. When it broke it drastically affected the dynamics of the plane, causing it to slew over and ultimately crash. I have lived in Wythenshawe all my life and had never heard anything about this air disaster until I did my own research through urban exploring, Nothing was ever put up to commemorate those who died. At the very least there should be a plaque - with the agreement of the people that live there now. The lives lost on this day should not be forgotten the mother and her 2 year old son in the house, 5 crew members and 15 passengers on board. All lost their lives.
