The 1965 Skyways Coach-Air Avro 748 crash occurred on 11 July 1965 when Avro 748-101 Series 1 G-ARMV, flown during a scheduled international passenger flight from Beauvais Airport, Oise, France, crashed on landing at its intended destination of Lympne Airport, Kent, United Kingdom.

This caused the nose wheels to dig in and the aircraft to overturn, losing both wings and the starboard tailplane in the process.

The weather at Lympne at the time the aircraft departed Beauvais indicated that visibility was 2,000 metres (2,200 yd), with wind at 18 knots (33 km/h) from 220° and a cloudbase of 250 feet (76 m).

At 3.5 nautical miles (6.5 km) from touchdown, an IFR approach was initiated under the guidance of the radar controller at Lympne.

At 0.25 nautical miles (0.46 km) from touchdown, the aircraft ran into severe turbulence and drifted to the right of the runway centre-line.

[7] The grass runway at Lympne had previously suffered from waterlogging, leading to the closure of the airport in December 1951,[8] and again in February 1953.

[4] The probable cause of the accident was stated to be "a heavy landing following an incomplete flare from a steeper than normal approach.
