British European Airways Flight 142 (callsign Bealine 142) was a scheduled service between London Heathrow Airport and Naples Airport. On 22 October 1958, it was flown by a Vickers Viscount 701, registered G-ANHC, and named "Sir Leopold McClintock". During its flight, the Viscount collided with an Italian Air Force North American F-86E Sabre over Anzio, Italy.

Accident

Flight 142 was flying at 23,500 feet towards Naples when it collided with the F-86E. The F-86E was the leading aircraft of four on a tactical training exercise when it hit the Viscount. Both aircraft crashed, with the loss of all people on the Viscount. The F-86 pilot, Captain Giovanni Savorelli, didn't use his ejector but parachuted down successfully and spent 6 months in hospital.

Investigation

While no blame was assigned for the accident, it was noted that the Viscount had strayed out of its airway and into a military-prohibited area.
