Another newsflash on now - with "on the scene" report from radio correspondent. No mention of operator, but no correction. An ambulance has left the scene with Gardai escorting, so there is some hope there.

The web piece above is lifted directly from IAA website here :

Would such an aircraft have a DFDR (data recorder) and or CVR on board?
If it was a Metroliner rather than a Merlin it should have both.

Seem to remember that the DFDR was located in the tail section outside the pressure bulkhead

Is Rwy 17 ILS Cat I or II...?? What is aircraft certified to??
