G-AWZT / One of BEA's Tridents, operating under the British Airways name. This is the ill-fated Trident that operated Flight BEA476 (Heathrow to Istanbul), which collided in mid-air with JP550 (Split to Cologne), a Inex-Adria Airways DC-9 registered YU-AJR. The planes collided over Vrbovec, Yugoslavia, at the Zagreb VOR, on September 10th, 1976. The last 5 meters of the DC-9's left wing sliced through the Trident's cockpit section and forward passenger compartment, killing the Trident's flight crew immediately. The DC-9, now missing half of its left wing, nosedived and crashed. The Trident, with no pilots, remained in flight for a few minutes, eventually stalling out and crashing a few miles away. All 63 aboard BEA476 and all 113 aboard JP550 were killed, in addition to one person on the ground; bringing the death total to 177 people. Thanks to 707. By the way, I just noticed this crash happened on my birthday - September 10th. O_O
