VICKERS 610 VIKING 1B G-AIVE CRASH on IRISH LAW, near LARGS, 21 APRIL 1948
On the evening of Wednesday 21 April 1948 a British European Airways Vickers Viking aircraft flight S200P out of Northolt bound for Renfrew Airport struck Irish Law in the North Ayrshire hills. Miraculously, all 20 passengers and crew on board escaped before the aircraft was consumed by flames. Today, substantial wreckage is still present on the windswept hillside.
For the 60th anniversary of this amazing incident, I am researching the events of that night with the view to writing a substantial, non-profit making piece of work.
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
Some information has already been sourced, however, I am keen to have input from people who had first hand experience of the events that night or thereafter, plus information from passengers relatives. If you can help in any way at all, I would be pleased to hear from you.
All sources of information will be acknowledged in the finished work.
