It seems London Gatwick was the UK’s own Kathmandu, staging two significant crash hoaxes in 1959 and 1969. The advantage over Heathrow is that Gatwick is in a semi rural location.
Going backwards in time…
1969 – Ariana Afghan Airlines [yes! a plane spotter’s dream!] Boeing 727. Very similar to Nepal in 2018, and we had a hero – PC Simmons who saved a life! 50 perished, allegedly. But there were supposedly 11 survivors. All “victims” bar one were from Afghanistan, Pakistan and India. Hmmmmm
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ariana_Afghan_Airlines_Flight_701
An obvious hoax. All the usual ingredients, triage centre, house demolition [later used in the Concorde crash hoax], miracle baby survival…. the crew didn’t seem to want to “die” either in this event, all survived, unlike in…The 1959 “crash” which involved a key player in these events, Turkish Airline,
it’s first. [the above AFghan plane had called in at Istanbul en route]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1959_Turkish_Airlines_Gatwick_crash
The Turkish prime minister, no less, was on board [allegedly]
As with the later 1969 crash, the local hospitals were part of the drill.
Turkish Premier Adnan Menderes, who was seated at a left window seat in the rear passenger cabin, survived the crash with only light scratches to his face, hanging in an upside-down position with his foot stuck in the floor
suuure.Not much wreckage, as usual, but the all important “Turkish” and “airlines” signwritten panels survived undamaged. Another miracle.
Bonus item 1 Heathrow Staines crash June 18 1972 [what a busy period for air crashes!] BEA flight 548, well documented, and an extraordinary event, nobody noticed it! Crazy, when the flight path is alleged to have crossed a main road at 90 degrees, to land in a nice quiet field. [@2.42 in the video]
the plane seems to have made an “emergency stop” between two lines of trees, a nice secluded location. Total nonsense, of course. A transparent staged event.
“The crash at first went almost unnoticed” LOL! 90 degrees across a busy main road….
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_European_Airways_Flight_548
Oh yes, the pilot, Key, 4 years off retirement. A good script. See also 11.55 et seq with running crisis actors.Bonus item 2, here’s a real beauty, Stockport, near Manchester 1967. A pathetic hoax, the usual tailfin [British Midland] and some controlled house demolition and a few torched cars. How could we have fallen for this nonsense? [72 dead 12 survived, allegedly]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockport_air_disaster
At 0.43 in the video, note the Beck and Pollitzer Hydrocon mobile crane – probably the one used to dump the piece of plane over the railings.From Russia with Love, Diamonds are Forever:
– Precious metals and diamonds rained over the runway and a swathe of Yakutia
– The hatch door of the plane fell off near a car market without causing injury
– The plane bound for Krasnoyarsk then made an emergency landing at Magan
– The nightmare happened on takeoff from Yakutsk, the regional capitalA plane lost much of a £265 million cargo of diamonds, platinum and gold on takeoff in Siberia.
The treasures fell out of a loose hatch in the plane’s hold.
Precious metals and diamonds rained over the runway and a swathe of Yakutia, the coldest region in Russia [and the world, outside of Antarctica, ideal stage location].
The hatch door fell off near a car market without causing injury. The plane bound for Krasnoyarsk then made an emergency landing at Magan after discovery it had been haemorrhaging valuables.
The nightmare happened on takeoff from Yakutsk, the regional capital.
‘The Nimbus Airlines AN-12 cargo plane hit problems during takeoff and the treasures fell out of the hold all over the runway,’ reported The Siberian Times.
‘The plane plane then dropped some bars of gold as far as 15 miles from the airport.’
Police sealed off the runway and a vast search is underway.Only secret services operatives are allowed to take part. It is unclear if it was an accident or a deliberate attempt at a ring heist.
Technical engineers at the airport who prepared it for takeoff have been detained.
They are undergoing interrogation,’ said a source.
The cargo belonged to Chukota Mining and Geological company. Some 75% of shares belong to Canadian Kinross Gold.
Yakutsk is capital of Yakutia or the Sasha Republic, Russia’s diamond producing region.
Precious metals and diamonds rained over the runway and a swathe of Yakutia, the coldest region in Russia
What a well-organized rain of gold bars, staying exactly within the limits of the black tarmac, amazing!
The plane bound for Krasnoyarsk then made an emergency landing after the discovery that it had been haemorrhaging valuables
So where was this photo taken then? In Yakutsk, before flying off? Why take this photo, super secret Russkis? Or in Magan, after the emergency landing? While “raining gold for 15 miles”, this neat pack is what is left?
Gold and platina fell out of cargo plane in Yakutia. It is unclear if it was an accident or a deliberate attempt at a ring heist.
And what about neither of those two, DailyFail?
Note the plane number:
The Nimbus Airlines AN-12 cargo plane (pictured) reportedly hit problems during takeoff
Oh yes, we have a big problem! Where is this police mans head? Ah, that is solved in the video below, he has a black cap on, not really unexpected in the average -38 degree climate of Yakutsk… The tear in the underside (?) of the plane (?) looks artificial…
A plane lost much of a £265 million cargo of diamonds, platinum and gold on takeoff in Siberia after the plane’s hatch door fell off near a car market
Lucky car market, this guy parked just inches away from where this piece would “fall” (note lack of impact) from the sky, or unlucky that he wasn’t there to catch some diamonds and gold and platina bars…
Or, as RT reports:
A Nimbus Airlines An-12 plane was carrying more than nine tons of material belonging to the Mining and Geological Company in the neighboring Chukotka region, Russia’s Investigative Committee confirmed Thursday. The unsecured cargo fell from the back of the plane when the hatch opened during take-off. The offending hatch then detached from the plane and fell on a local auto market. No one was injured in the incident.
Of course, you don’t notice that when you fly off, a hatch door opening, that can happen to anyone…
Time Magazine, one of the most extreme cases of VVS I have seen, even going sideways…
Another “video”, it is not, it is a collection of photos.
But answers one of the earlier questions; the neatly packed gold bars are photographed after the alleged “nightmare” of “haemorrhaging” diamonds, no shit!
The Nimbus Airlines plane took off for Krasnoyarsk carrying 9.3 tons of gold and other precious metals, according to a statement from the state Investigative Committee, reported by CNBC.
Local witnesses reported that the photos [???] were gold, platinum and gems. TASS cited officials from the Interior Ministry as saying that some 172 gold bars weighing about 3.4 tons were recovered. According to the Mash Telegram channel, the total cargo is worth the hefty sum of 21.6 billion rubles (US$380 million).
Indeed guys, real gems. They are just out there in the details, for all of us to see:
It’s -21C in Yakutia, sunny, we expect showers of diamond, platinum and gold… Plane loses its $368 million cargo; gems and precious metals rain over Russia’s coldest region as police and secret services stage emergency search
According to an official from the Canadian-based Kinross Gold Corporation, which operates mines in Russia, the trove are Doré bars, semi-pure alloys of gold and silver which are later transported to a refinery for purification.
A doré bar is a semi-pure alloy of gold and silver, usually created at the site of a mine. It is then transported to a refinery for further purification. The proportions of silver and gold can vary widely. Doré bars weigh as much as 25 kg. According to the United States Census Bureau, the creation of doré bars is conducted at establishments engaged either in “Gold Ore Mining” (NAICS Code 212221), or “Primary Smelting and Refining of Nonferrous Metals
Without a shadow of a doubt, a 25 kg gold-silver alloy Doré bar this! Or a mammoth incisor:
This Doré lost her labeled jacket on the way down, chilly being naked!
How to pack a money scam within a money scam?
Gold rush in -24C to find the $368 million treasures that fell from back of plane. Tickets to Yakutsk sold out. Locals do not believe official claims that the precious metals have been found.
Some nice photos at that Twitter account, enjoy!
===============
Hmmmm, let’s see:
– why would anyone pack all that gold, platina and diamonds on 1 plane anyway?
– Plane “taking off from Yakutsk, losing precious metals for 15 miles (or about 23 km) and emergency landing in Magan? The distance between these two airstrips (airport is a bit of a stretch) is just 13 km !! (Something not hidden on Wickedpedia: “It is served by the Yakutsk Airport as well as the smaller Magan Airport.”)
– Time Magazine already uses the Zal Rule, dobre den guys, nice you read Fakeopedia!Per CNBC, authorities shut down the runway and have recovered 172 gold bars so far, but since the gold was spread over some 10 square miles [so not 15 miles], treasure hunters will undoubtedly be out in force looking for lost cargo for some time. Or this is simply the plot of the next installment in the Ocean’s franchise.

The Udalls are asking for in excess of $195,000 (£141,000) in damages, as well as punitive damages and a jury trial.
The lawsuit comes after it was announced that Papillon would fit 40 of the crash-resistant tanks to its fleet following the crash, which Robb called “too little, too late”

Let’s look at the “crash” site more closely
same old shit, if you ask me.
Stiff upper lip BBC narrative from the time
http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/march/3/newsid_2514000/2514823.stmFrom Getty image dump
Just a mid 1970s version of the 2018 Toronto sidewalk tarps.
It would be interesting to me to find a major air crash that we could say with conviction was real just to see what a real one looks like!
I certainly don’t reject the idea that this incident was faked, I just hadn’t looked at it and don’t know.
There’s a few details in the numbers which made me raise my eye-brows slightly.
First off, this ‘World record’ air crash happened on 3/3 /1974The 177 British dead in this ‘most fatal plane crash in history’ also has to be noted.
The other one was that it was said to hit the ground 77 seconds after the original explosion.
These numbers don’t amount to coincidences too-far and could be retrospectively massaged, but they did make me wonder.
It occurred in broad daylight at a quite popular tourist spot. We’re told
”Many Sunday strollers saw the crash. There was disagreement among them as to whether the plane had been on fire before crashing, but most agreed that thick smoke was pouring from the huge trijet as it came down.”After 9/11 we know anything is possible with planes in broad daylight, but with this being a popular tourist spot and a Sunday, my impression is, it doesn’t seem like a truly isolated area. Lots of people could see the plane crashing and members of the public could have been first on the scene.
I’m not saying this means it has to be real, it just isn’t a completely isolated
area, in this case.You say this crash ” had a sporting theme (rugby clubs)” xileffilex.
Was there more than one team like Bali ? I’ve only read about the Bury St Edmunds team at this point.The victim list has a somewhat familiar and broad international coverage. There were apparently 177 Britons, 48 Japanese, 44 Turkish, 25 Americans, 16 French, 5 Brazilians, 3 Argentine, 2 Australian, 2 Indians, 1 Belgian, 1 Cypriot, 1 West German, 1 Irish, 1 Moroccan, 1 New Zealander, 1 Pakistani, 1 Senegalese, 1 Spaniard, 1 Swedish, 1 Swiss, and one South Vietnamese.
I don’t know, I really don’t have a firm take with this one.
I’d like to think that I’d be able to tell straight-away just by taking-in the media, whether a crash was real or not if it happened today.
I have less of a feel for this retrospectively. I could say in casual conversation that it was ‘probably fake’ like a whole bunch of other major incidents, but I wouldn’t say it with much conviction.

There was a second rugby club on the flight, Tom – from Stockport, as noted earlier in the thread.
Incidentally, just today, there’s a sudden outbreak of Rugby club players dying in Sri Lanka….
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tyne-44126799A video of the rubbish dump/crash site in 1974
and a recent update, including footage of a “recovered” forest
Some nice photos here. e.g.
ist still looks like a load of aircraft junk dropped from above, with concomitant tree surgery and a full scale drill going on on the forest floor.
Ok. It wasn’t another rugby club exactly, on the flight, but four members of a Rugby club from Stockport who had travelled to watch the Four Nations match against France in Paris.
I’m not saying that this isn’t notable, but on that day with other flights back to London being cancelled, it strikes me as possibly quite likely there would be some other rugby fans on that plane.
https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/stockports-forgotten-four-victims-second-6762909That said, I couldn’t help a double-take at this cartoon-like picture of alleged victim Sydney Waterhouse. It’s just one of those ‘enhanced’ images, isn’t it, but it could make one think!
Another image linked to that Manchester Evening News piece says it’s the ‘Remains of the aircraft’ but looks like a photo from a different, more recent crash. I think it’s flight 1951 which went down in 2000.
Another example of sloppy journalism, I guess.
If we look at say Shanksville on 9/11 and the scene of that crash, we can certainly say that didn’t look right, but I just can’t reach a firm take, here with this old one.
There must have been – I think – some genuine major airline crashes at some point, shouldn’t there? I’d still like to look at one that we think is real, to compare.
With this Paris one, the tops of the trees look a bit dodgy to me as if they’ve been sawn off. Would they really be neatly sheared like that by a plane flying into them? I don’t know, but it does look a bit questionable.
Sorry to not be more firm with my take here, but for me the evidence remains indecisive at this point.

I mentioned earlier that one of the Manchester Evening News photos is of a much later Turkish Airlines hoax.
But here’s a copycat piece of hoaxing from another French “crash”, from the 1970s, a peak period for air crash fear porn.
Let’s stick with French “crashes” for a while.
https://www.francebleu.fr/infos/faits-divers-justice/infographie-crash-de-l-airbus-a320-la-catastrophe-aerienne-la-plus-meurtriere-en-france-depuis-33-ans-1427198824An Inex Avia DC9 plane from Yugoslavia crashed in a remote area of Corsica in December 1981… 180 “dead”
same old format, a piece of fuselage, as employed in 1974 in the Turkish Airlines “crash”.
This “crash” was one of the trio of top French crashes, along with Turkish Airlines 981 and the 2000 Concorde “crash” which I’ll come to later.
They are nicely listed here along with some minor French accidents.
For some reason, the Corsican “crash” is not included in this conspectus of French aviation crashes, but it does mention the spectacular crash of the Concorde lookalike Tupolev Tu-144 Concordski in France in 1973 in Goussainville at the Paris Air Show.
Was that real? We need to look, bearing in mind that a staged hyper-realistic “crash” drill was alleged to have killed 11 people near to the Shoreham air show
on a sealed-off piece of road and which continues to give nourishment to the legal profession 3 years later as the miraculously surviving [for the purposes of the narrative] pilot is tried at the Old Baileyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_Shoreham_Airshow_crash
Is this French Tupolev crash just another example of controlled demolition?

hmmmmKey survivor – John Beardmore “last man out”
On that day, as they boarded the plane at Manchester Airport, John, his wife Pamela, then 37, and their two boys Simon, 14, and David, 12, were excited to be taking a family holiday to Corfu.
But, as Pamela and the boys sat on one row directly over the wing and engine, and John was across the aisle with another family, he felt immediately ill at ease.
He said: “I felt uncomfortable. I was just staggered by the number of people on the aircraft. When I sat down in row 13, my knees were pressed into the seat in front.
“There were over 130 passengers. I remember thinking ‘this is going to be an uncomfortable flight, but I was thinking of the holidays.” **
I started to choke and my knees went, I just saw white air, I thought it was a window and made my way towards it – it was the front door, there was a shoot [sic i.e chute, although this was in reality a film shoot] in front of me and I went down it.”
John was the last person to escape from the aircraft. The family seated next to him did not survive.At Wythenshawe Hospital, John was treated for serious lung damage. ‘He was in intensive care for a night and then in a high dependency unit for two weeks.
John headed up a survivors’ section of the safety campaign while William Beckett, who lost his daughter, was in charge of families with lost loved ones.

Any other stories? Certainly
June Somekh, deputy mayor for Stockport, lost her sister, brother-in-law and niece in the tragedy.It left three children orphaned and a family without roots.
June, who lives in Gatley, recalls the devastating impact it had on the family.
It was rare for June’s sister Vera Beal, 53, to go away with the family as she was scared of flying.
But on that fateful day she and husband Raymond, 54, a structural engineer, boarded the 737 with daughters Susan, 16, who had just completed her GCSEs, and her younger sister Wendy. [aged about 13]
They were going on holiday to Corfu, where they would meet Richard, their son. ***
Their other son Alan was on holiday in the UK. [aged 17]
When the fire broke out, Wendy was pushed off the plane and survived. The others didn’t.
June added: “I was in London at the time, my husband and I offered to do whatever we could. They had all been at our wedding before the crash. It was so hard.”
Wendy, now married and named Sharples ****, was fostered by family friends and now has children of her own.

SARAH Beckett was looking forward to a summer job working as a nanny in Corfu when she boarded the Boeing 737 at Manchester Airport on August 22 1985.
but she allegedly died in the inferno.
And a nice piece of scriptwriting follows…
Mr Beckett, 59, still remembers every detail of the fateful morning he drove his daughter from their Sheffield home to catch the plane. The ironic thing was that Sarah nearly did not make it to the airport at all because they almost collided with a police car on the way. But they did reach the airport, where Mr Beckett left his daughter before making his way back home. A friend later phoned to tell him and his wife Linda that there had been a crash at Manchester airport involving the flight to Corfu. Mr and Mrs Beckett, who have three other children, then began the devastating process of trying to find out if Sarah was still alive.The irony!

A NORTH Wales man yesterday relived the moment his plane burst into flames as fellow survivors marked the 20th anniversary of the Manchester airport tragedy.David Thomas, his wife Wendy and daughters Joanna and Caroline jumped to safety but 55 passengers and crew died in the disaster.
The family from Llandyrnog, near Denbigh, were on the British Airtours Boeing 737, as it prepared to fly to Corfu.
“I was one of the last off the aircraft who suffered no effects,” said retired Ysbyty Glan Clwyd consultant gynaecologist Mr Thomas.
At the time of the accident Joanna, now a GP in South Wales, was 11, and Caroline, a university graduate, was six.Yes, I am just imagining, a well connected hospital gynaecologist going on a package holiday packed like sardines into a charter plane. Suuuure.

Self-employed builder Chris Brannigan and his wife Ann, both 42, from Highgate, [Preston] were killed when a fireball ripped through the British Airtours Boeing 737 flight at Manchester Airport on August 22, 1985 Their friends Damien Southworth, 26, and Debra Whalley, then 22, also originally from Penwortham, managed to scramble to safety from the burning wreck.
Hero alert –
At the inquest into the tragedy, Mr Southworth told how Mr Brannigan had tried to calm people as panic spread through the cabin.Linda Beckett, recalled the moment she found out about the crash.
She told Sky News: “The worst aspect was realising that this was not just a few people, this was going to be severe.
“We desperately watched the TV. We saw survivors coming out in blankets ** . We were desperately looking for an image of our daughter and of course we never saw one.”
The tragedy led to the introduction of many safety improvements, including adding fire-blocking seat covers and more fire extinguishers on planes.

Survivors of the plane fire disaster at Manchester Airport, David Ashworth, wife Kathleen and their two sons Christopher, 13, and Dominic, 11, outside their home in Bury. They are conquering their fear of flying by flying from Manchester Airport to travel to their original holiday destination, the island of Corfu, for a family holiday.
43-year-old Dorothy Wilson survived also. But sadly, Miss Littlewoods Pools, Lyn Naden, 19, of Norris Green, Liverpool, who was one of the victims of the Manchester air disaster.
It’s not clear whether Anna’s medical parents were on board but she qualified as a doctor and is now a GP in Solihull, West Midlands at the Knowle surgery.

Suuuuure.Back in ’85…a trip down memory lane-
I’m a medical student, you know, nurse…
According to the Daily Mail of August 23 1985, Anna was reported to have asthma by a “relative” in Bingley i.e. one of her doctor parents. “Somebody must have pushed her out of a door” [same old hoaxy script] “She’s OK now, but having trouble breathing” [not apparent in the ITN video, and obviously well enough to chat with Princess Di]From the Manchester Evening News

Anna [now Griffin], then aged 20, was planning to jet off on a skiing holiday as soon as she recovered.
No doubt all expenses paid for her “trouble”. And seemingly sure she would be out in time for European snow in the new year.
Recovering from “burns” in this image, but remaining cheerful, her thoughts already on the piste and the “apres-ski”.

[cough]
When Prince Charles asked Roy Metcalfe, 50, of Chesterfield, how he escaped from the plane he replied “In a great hurry”
LOL! [laughter -> coughing -> aids recovery]
