3. Vickers Viscount aircraft have been involved in other accidents due to severe turbulence, such as the one on 12 May 1959, where the aircraft encountered turbulence that was not forecasted and was not detectable by the crew, leading to a crash. Read more

These incidents highlight the importance of weather monitoring and the need for pilots to be prepared to handle severe turbulence. The Vickers Viscount, while a popular aircraft in its time, was not immune to the dangers of extreme weather conditions.
