The 1967 Air Ferry DC-4 accident occurred on the 3 June 1967 when a Douglas DC-4 registered G-APYK on a non-scheduled charter flight between Manston Airport in Kent, England and Perpignan Airport in France hit the Canigou mountain in France killing all 88 on board. Cause of the accident was determined to be carbon monoxide poisoning of the flight crew due to a faulty cabin heater.
The flight was the first leg of a 15-day package holiday to the Costa Brava organised by Lyons Tours with 83 passengers and five crew. At 10:04, the aircraft reported to Air Traffic Control at Perpignan that all was well, visibility was good and that they were beginning to descend. A few minutes later, the aircraft hit the 9,000-foot Mount Canigou to the south-west of Perpignan. The aircraft was destroyed and all 88 onboard were killed.
