The Sutton Wick air crash occurred on 5 March 1957 when a Blackburn Beverley C Mk 1 heavy transport aircraft, serial number XH117, of 53 Squadron Royal Air Force crashed in the village of Sutton Wick, Drayton, Berkshire, England, following shut-down of one engine and partial loss of power on another. After take-off, No. 1 engine was shut down as a precautionary measure and whilst on final approach back to RAF Abingdon, No. 2 engine failed to respond to throttle inputs.
