One of the first hijackings also known as piracy

An interesting article from the BBC mentions what is possibly the first hijacking of an aircraft, although there seems to be at least 4 before this one.

The article names the captain as Capt A E Hare, I wonder if it was Alex Hare ex Channel and Air Anglia.

It was indeed the same Alex Hare who was with AQ

Thanks Halcyon Days. I flew with Alex a number of times on both the DC3 and F27 in the mid 70s with Air Anglia. A great Captain to fly with!
