Flown on a plane that has subsequently crashed i was on the britannia airways 752 g-byag that crashed in gerona in 1999. quite spooky because i flew on it 1997 and then i went on holiday to costa brava (gerona) only a few weeks before the plane crashed in 1999 another spooky thing is that i know someone who was on the plane when it crashed….

it landed nose first in some pretty bad weather, and the nose gear collapsed.
there’s a more detailed bulletin at the Air Accident Investigation Branch website (the UK equivalent of the NTSB): http://www.aaib.dft.gov.uk/special/gbyag/gbyags.htm

Why did it crash? Looks like it survived it pretty well.

My parents landed at Gerona the night before the BY crash.
I’ve only been on one BY B757 and that was G-BYAF way back in July 1995 BHX-PMI-BHX.
