This report asserts that three people - Henderson, Ibbotson and Sala - were recorded passing though passport control at Nantes prior to departure of the ill-fated flight though, as we know, Henderson was not on board when it disappeared.
In the same article, he is reported as saying that he had not been to Nantes for at least a year.
Clearly both statements can't be simultaneously true.
