Thanks very much.
Just for the record, my source was a fully-certified Merlin engineer, and was eventually quite senior in the engineering set-up at Castle Don.
Thanks for the infomation.
Having visited the site, I'd always wondered about how the crash area was so confined. It really is in a built-up urban area.
As well as the memorial to the crew and passengers, there is now an additional plaque acknowledging the bravery of the rescuers. The BBC did a feature on the accident a couple of years ago in one of their regional documentary magazines.
