Avro 691 Lancastrian

The crew was completing a cargo flight from Chaklala Airport in Islamabad, carrying a load of military goods. On final approach to Mauripur Airport, while at an altitude of 300 feet, the aircraft pitched up and down and then went into a nose down attitude. Out of control, it plunged into the earth and crashed in a near vertical angle near the runway 22 threshold. The aircraft was destroyed and all four crew members were killed.
