Programme notes *: The biggest air disaster in Austrian aviation history to date occurred on the 29th of February 1964 on the Voldertal side of the „Glungezer“. A four-engine “Britannia 312” by the British Eagle International Airlines had taken off from London Heathrow Airport at 1:04 p.m. Innsbruck local time, according to the report of the Air Accident Commission. Its destination was Innsbruck Airport – but the aircraft never arrived. The weather conditions were bad and the pilots had to fight with thick clouds and snow, according to newspaper reports at the time, before radio contact was completely lost. Every effort was made to locate the aircraft immediately, All airfields in the vicinity were alerted. By late evening, there was growing evidence that the plane might have crashed. A short time later there was certainty. As the later investigations had shown, the airplane had crashed at 2,601 meters above sea level at 3:14 p.m. – 75 passengers and eight crew members died. The accident triggered a massive avalanche and swept the plane debris and the bodies several meters downwards and buried them underneath the snow. The recovery was very difficult and took many weeks.
