- Date: September 21, 1967
- Aircraft: Vickers Viscount
- Location: Bristol-Lulsgate Somerset, United Kingdom
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The aircraft was aligned with the runway at too low a height after the commander continued the approach without adequate visual reference.
An Aer Lingus Vickers Viscount on a flight from Dublin to Bristol landed at Bristol Lulsgate in deteriorating weather. It drifted off the centre line during the approach, and during a late correction its starboard wingtip and propeller struck the runway, so the crew went around. The aircraft came to rest after a ground contact and was written off, with no fatalities.
