The ''Sea Tiger'' Case

By Crusader1307

 Another famous "Bermuda Triangle" disappearance, is that of short-lived British South American Airways and it's Passenger Craft -  The "Star Tiger". An Avro Tudor 688 Mark IV Passenger Aircraft, The "Star Tiger" had made 11 previous trips through "The Triangle" without incident. The Craft was relatively "young" with only 575-Flight hours. On the date in question, January 30, 1948, "Star Tiger" departed Lisbon, Portugal for The Bermuda Islands. The plane left with 25 Passengers and 6 crew. The time was 9:00 AM. 10-hours into the flight, Pilots reported "bad weather". Although strong winds are a problem for any Commercial aircraft, these were not sufficient to cause catastrophic damage. Contact was officially lost encounter to Bermuda, at the upper portion of "The Triangle". No wreckage, oil or fuel spot or bodies were (or have to date), been recovered. Other Aircraft flying at various altitudes all verified the so-called "storm". None determined it to be a "serious issue".

However, a few did report having magnetic problems related to Flight compasses and other in-flight navigational equipment. A few even reported mysterious "glowing clouds" (long associated with magnetic anomalies within "The Triangle". In the 1990s, wreckage of a Avro-Tudor from the 1940s was located on the bottom of "The Triangle" in remarkable condition. Engine block part numbers did not conclusively identify it as "Star Tiger". It also did not conclusively link it to her sister plane "Star Ariel", who also disappeared into "The Triangle", the following year (1949). In fact, most records show just "whose" Craft it was! (Furthering an already perplexing mystery). The loss of the two Avro Tudor would serve the historical "aspects" of "The Bermuda Triangle", in that their loss catapulted the Region into Mainstream Public attention from that moment on.
