A Learjet 36A (I-AIFA) owned by Ferruzzi S.p.A. flew from London with two pilots and one passenger, the group founder Serafino Ferruzzi. On a night approach to Forli in heavy rain, with the runway 12 ILS glideslope inoperative, the left wing struck a TV antenna on a hill about 2300 metres short of the threshold. The aircraft lost height and crashed onto a house, killing all three occupants and two people on the ground.
