Hi all
I would nbe grateful if anyone can shed light on the accident to the above Viscount on 2 Dec 1958. The aircraft was on a test flight post major maintenance when due to faulty control tab the aircraft was overstressed and broke up in the air falling, it is said in the Frimley area.
A friend who lived in the area at the time says he has no recollection of this anywhere in the Frimley locality, can anyone advise more accurate details please.
Many thanks

The Times report 3 12 1958. The article was accompanied by a picture which is not worth reproducing here.
