As I send these words to you, it was 60 years ago - give or take a few minutes - that BEA Vickers Viking G-AIVE impacted on the side of Irish Law near Largs.
And so was to begin a remarkable story of survival which myself and Dougie have been researching for nearly two years.
Yesterday, we presented a talk on our project to a 'capacity crowd' of over 30 people at a village not too far away from the incident area. We were delighted to be joined by two of the sons of the steward on board the flight, Con Moroney. Today, Shaun and Martin visited the crash site; thankfully it would appear the weather was much better than on 21 April 1948!
We would like to continue to thank you for your interest in the project and we'll continue to keep you updated on developments.
Best wishes,
James Towill and Dougie Martindale
