Rainboe: forgive me my cheek, but you said 'we' lost Vc10s at 'Kano and Addis' - surely you mean Lagos- not Kano. (Addis is correct though for the EAA - 5X-UVA )

I know I am not wrong about Lagos -even if I was but a boy - who lived there who had people killed on it. We were all regualrs on the BA and WT VC10 services to LOS via either Frankfurt, or Rome, and thence Kano.

BOAC had just sold the a/c to the Nigerians. The crew was mix of ex EAA people and others I think.

The cause was a combination of ATC and procedural and weather events and the acident was a key pointer in the promotion of GPW and CVR improvements.
