On 27 March 1951 a [[Douglas C-47 Skytrain|Douglas Dakota 3]] cargo aircraft [[Aircraft registration|registered]] ''G-AJVZ'' operated by [[Air Transport Charter]] en route from [[Manchester Airport|Ringway Airport]], Manchester, England, to [[Nutts Corner]] Airport, [[Antrim, County Antrim|Antrim]], [[Northern Ireland]], crashed shortly after takeoff following the failure of the aircraft to gain height. There were two fatalities amongst the crew on board.

The Dakota was operating a flight carrying newspapers from Ringway to Nutts Corner. On takeoff from Runway 06 in freezing conditions and light falling snow, it swung to port, failed to climb, and struck the top of a tree in Woodhouse Lane, close to the hamlet of [[Heyhead]], half a mile from the end of the runway. Both pilots were killed.<ref name="flight">{{cite journal | title= Civil Aviation: The Ringway Dakota Accident | journal=[[Flight International|Flight]] | url=http://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1951/1951%20-%202212.html|  pages= 575–576| date= 2 November 1951}}</ref>

==Conclusion==
The subsequent investigation found that the crash resulted from a loss of engine power caused by ice formation in the carburettor intakes attributable to the captain's failure to make use of the heat controls. The extended undercarriage and the presence of snow on the wings may have also been contributory factors.<ref name="flight" /><ref>{{cite web|url=http://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=19510327-0|title=ASN Aircraft accident Douglas C-47A-75-DL Dakota 3 G-AJVZ Manchester-Ringway Airport (MAN)|first=Harro|last=Ranter|website=aviation-safety.net|accessdate=8 February 2018}}</ref>
