User:Chrism/1950 BEA Viking incident

The 1950 BEA Viking incident was the attempted mid-Channel bombing of a Vickers Viking operated by British European Airways (BEA) on a scheduled flight between London's Northolt airport and Paris on 13 April 1950. The aircraft successfully returned to Northolt, with only one serious injury amongst the passengers and crew caused by the explosion. The person who planted the bomb was never successfully identified, though documents released in 2005 show the authorities believe a passenger was attempting to commit suicide.
