Should anyone be interested, here's a 3 part radio documentary produced to mark the 50th anniversary of the crash from the perspective of one family.
The producer's grandfather was a passanger on the flight, while two of his grand uncles worked in senior roles within Aer Lingus at the time. Each part is aboout 30min long and touches on the impact of the crash on the family, the initial investigation, finger pointing and more recent review of the accident.
