Landing in a heavy monsoon the aircraft overran the runway and nosed over into a ditch.
Findings: "The accident was caused by incorrect technique under the conditions prevailing. With an aircraft of this type, without reversible pitch airscrews, with a down-wind component and a very wet runway it is essential that the correct technique should be employed. In this instance there was a long initial hold-off float, the nose-wheel was not put down immediately and I must assume, full brake was not applied soon enough. In reaching this finding I must record that the pilots were unaware of the increasing tailwind component which was occurring during the hold-off and at a stage too late to be advised by the ground organisation. In addition the speed with which the Captain initiated crash drill and the co-ordination of the craw throughout this action were major contributions towards the prevention of a disaster."
