The disappearance of Star Tiger
On January 30, 1948, a British South American Airways Tudor IV flying from England to Bermuda disappeared without a trace. Captain B. W. McMillan was flying from England to Bermuda and reported arriving in Bermuda at 5:00 a.m., but neither he nor any of the 31 people onboard the Star Tiger were heard.
The official accident report suggests that the aircraft’s heater was unreliable and may have failed en route, and a compass was at fault. Many insist that Bermuda’s curse took him as his plane was assumed to have been lost at sea forever.
