Don't know what happened to Clive, but have a little more info on those two Viscount accidents.

Better quality photos of G-ARBY after the accident at this link below - under the "Registration" drop down menu, click on G-ARBY, and then go to to page 8 of 9 and 9 of 9 when you find G-ARBY. Incidentally, this is an excellent site for information and photos of all Viscounts - with detailed histories of every Viscount built (under the "Listings" section):

The VickersViscount.Net website says that the cabin interior was removed from G-BFYZ a month after the accident, and installed in the G-BDRC, which
became the next Guernsey Airlines aircraft, named "Sarnia II" (G-BFYZ was named "Sarnia". On 13 August 1980, the remains of G-BFYZ were transported to East Midlands Airport and after spares recovery, the aircraft was broken up.
