KeMac - what else would you like to know about the accident? The DC-6B, SE-BDY, belonged to Transair Sweden. On the flight deck were Captain Hallonquist, FO Litton, Captain Ahreus, Engineer Wilhelmsson and Radio Operator Rosen.

Transair's Director of Flight Operations, Captain Pearson, was also on the flight as was the company's Chief Engineer and Chief Flight Engineer. Amongst others, there were also two ICAO representatives and a Captain McAfee of the International Federation of Airline Pilots.

Ndola base OC was Rhodesian Air force Squadron Leader Mussell. The wreckage was spotted by Flying Officer Craxford from a searching Provost.

A DC-4, OO-RIC, was sent in ahead to give the impression it was actually carrying the Secretary General. This was for security reasons although there was no evidence of any sabotage causing the accident.
