Thanks very much Dave, exactly what I wanted. Chevvron, it's amazing how undramatic the whole thing was. Heading for the ground, and not even a slight change of tempo!

Yes Dave,

Hello,
I wondered if you also looked at the KLM Connie crash of 1949 near Prestwick? I thought there was also a book or pamphlet, possibly published by the same chap.
