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, James Towill and Dougie Martindale are researching the events of that night with the view to writing a substantial piece on the incident.

The purpose of this webgroup is to act as a forum for discussion and comment on the progress of the research into those events of nearly six decades ago.
