Nothing more was heard from
the plane.
A civil aviation ministry offi
cial stationed at Prestwick said
the airliner was not under radar
control at the time of the accident.
A radar operator directed the
plane down through the fog until
the pilot saw the field, the official
told newsmen.
Other airport officials said the
plane hit a 132,000-volt power line
about 100 feet above the ground.
The plane continued for about two
miles past the mining community
of Tarbolton and crashed. It fell
about five miles northeast of the
airfield.
Residents of Tarbolton said they
were awakened by the engines of
the low-flying plane and could see
flames spurting from the craft be
fore it crashed.

watches found in the wreckage of
a KLM airliner were impounded
today by Prestwick customs offi
cers until their owners can be
traced.
The four-engined Dutch Con
stellation crashed near the air
port early yesterday morning,
killing 39 of the 40 people aboard.
The shipment of watches was
listed on the plane’s manifest. The
diamond were not. A KLM official
in London said the diamonds ap
parently were shipped by regis
tered mail instead of as freight
and mail would not be manifested.
A KLM statement denied pub
lished guesses that the diamonds
were being smuggled. One of Hol
1 land’s major industries is diamond
cutting, and shipments of stone
leave there regularly.
