Subject: 10 am on Sunday 4 June 1967, a British Midland Airways, Canadair C-4 Argonaut airliner packed with returning holidaymakers from Palma, Majorca, turned onto the approach to Ringway Airport, Manchester. To Captain Harry Marlow and his First Officer Chris Pollard at the controls, it seemed a perfectly normal approach. The slight drizzle and low cloud presented no kind of hazard, yet nine minutes later the aircraft lay a tangled, twisted exploding wreck in the centre of Stockport. Of the 84 passengers and crew on board, only 12 survived. What went wrong?
