I believe the window from Chinook BN, which was jettisoned when they hit the sea back in '82, was found washed ashore a couple of years back. Has anybody got a link to this? I think the press did cover it.

Yes i remember it, there was photos of it by the bay it was recovered from with the finders.

i remember most of the crew and engineers both on the island and on the Conveyor.

Thanks, Nutty. The picture is just what I was looking for. However, it says a decade later. I'm sure something appeared in the press within, at most, the last five years. Possibly tied in with something else.
