An Airspeed Ambassador 2 operated by Dan Air crashed at Beauvais Tille Airport on 14 April 1966 after it came out of cloud too high on approach. The crew continued the approach instead of going around and overran the wet runway, losing its main and nose gear. The investigation attributed the accident to the flight crew's wrong approach configuration.
