D5383 was badly damaged when involved in an accident at East Langton, between Leicester and Market Harborough, on 20th August 1965. This subsequently lead to its withdrawal and by the end of November 1965 D5383 had reached Derby Works where published photographs suggest it was cannibalized.
Steam Locomotive5384 - Circa 1956 - Bath Spa. An interesting view of Weymouth shedded "Mogul" 5384 unusually running with "Express Passenger" lamps in position here at Bath, and with an apparently freshly repainted smokebox door indicating a possible recent visit to Swindon Works.
With the lead unit thought to have been retired this would be the last shot got with CN 5385 leading train 310 with CN 5258. Here they are with horns a blaring engines pumping and echoing off the canyon walls...
D5386 was put into service by British Rail in May 1962. It was modified to work push-pull services so received TOPS number 27103 in April 1974. Fitted with electric train heating it became 27212 in March 1975. Push-pull equipment was removed in January 1982 so it was renumbered again as 27066 and was withdrawn in July 1987. It is now preserved.
British Airways Flight 5390 was a flight from Birmingham Airport in England for Málaga Airport in Spain. On June 10, 1990, the BAC One-Eleven 528FL suffered explosive decompression resulting in no loss of life.
Explosive decompressions can cause a serious threat to life onboard an aircraft. Such incidents are rare, but one stands out as a particularly incredible story of survival.
Specifically, in June 1990, the captain of a British Airways BAC 1-11 survived being sucked out of his seat and pinned to the aircraft's exterior for 20 minutes.
