A Royal Air Force Handley Page Hastings hit the ground on touchdown at Gan AFB in Addu Atoll, Maldivian Islands. Its undercarriage was sheared off and it slid on its belly before coming to rest. There were no casualties, but the aircraft was damaged beyond repair, and a crosswind gusting to 23 knots at the time may have contributed.
