What: Air Nasca Cessna 185 # OB-1808 sightseeing tour of Nazca Lines en route from Maria Reiche airport
Where: south of Lima, Peru
When: Oct. 2, 2010
Who: 6 aboard, 6 fatalities (Four British tourists, Peruvian pilot and co pilot )
Why: During a flight to observe the Nazca Lines, the plane experienced engine trouble. While the pilot was attempting an emergency landing, the sightseeing tour plane crashed, killing all aboard.

British passengers included Andrew Brown, 30, Gayle Callow, 34, and Warren Denham. The flight was piloted by Gilberto Zúñiga and Ricardo Cárdenas.

Some sources are saying there were only the three (not four) British passengers aboard, but other sources say there were three men and a woman in addition to the crew.

James Dauris, the British ambassador to Peru, has visited the scene of the crash.

About 40 planes operate in the area where flights have been banned before, due to more than a dozen local carriers not living up to international flight standards.
