Hermes G-ALDJ crashed at about midnight at Blackbushe on 5th Nov 1956. Questions were asked in Parliament within a day or two. The Report was published on 7th Mar.1957

No CVR or other Recording was done in those days but the Captain's Voyage report from Captain Terry Connor was found and used.
He and his crew had been without proper rest for 30 hours ( with 10 hours inadequate rest at Tripoli) during an evacuation from Suez.
FTL were improved with crew rest bunks fitted, etc.thereafter.
