An engineering team went to Dawsons Field specifically to salvage Golf November's tailplane which was known to be intact. This was announced in an edition of 'BOAC News' and it was a small consolation to the staff that at least a part of this once-proud aeroplane would fly on. I think we all felt pretty sick seeing it lying broken like that, but at least on this occasion there was no loss of life.
One other outcome of the 1970 hijackings was the start of pre-boarding security checks, although not as draconian as we have come to know them, and the introduction of photo-ID on uniforms.
