Very sad indeed. and in 70 years they never had an accident ( except the Comet in the 60's but it was operated by BEA and it was a bomb if I remember)
Agree entirely the Comet was G-ARCO in 1967 and the skipper, if my memory does not fail me, was Capt Blackburn. A very nice guy. As far as I remember the bomb was put o/b by a maintenance rep in LHR. I don't recall who was targeted but he wasn't on the flight stop.
At that time I was working for BEA in LBG.
