BOAC:

Regarding crash site location, you may wish to rewind to macacha #81 and PJ2 #124 to get an idea of where it is. On Google earth you can pick up the two 'roads' in PJ's crash site simulation.
Here are some Google Earth reference points:

Mosque:

N 33 43 46.3
E 73 02 16.3

6.85 n.m. from approach end runway (AER) 12, true bearing 339.6


Crash Site # 1:

N33 44 40.5
E 73 01 51.2

7.82 n.m. from AER 12, true bearing 339.5


Crash Site #2 (the one I "vote" for based on recovery photos we have seen)

N 33 44 48.9
E73 02 26.6

7.80 n.m. from AER Rwy 12, true bearing 343.2
