Two things I had heard about the DC-7 incident - firstly the Captain had pushed his seat back and when trying to reach the brake pedals when the aircraft started to accelerate he was too far back to do anything and secondly an Aer Turas crew member hitching a ride broke an arm while standing up in the back of the cockpit when landing! How true I donīt know but it was 41 years ago but still remember it was a very windy March Saturday night. Wasnīt the aircraft delivering the Irish Sunday papers which Aer Turas had a contract?
