Just read an interesting article over on BBC news, concerning the disappearance of BSAA's two Avro Tudors, Star Tiger during its Azores-Bermuda flight on January 30th, 1948, and Star Ariel during its Kingston-Bermuda flight on January 17th 1949.

As you might know, both accidents became part of the "legend of the Bermuda Triangle" (
), while they also led, together with the Llandow air disaster, to the Tudor being withdrawn from commercial service (though some saw limited use as a freighter until 1959).
