Thanks for the information, Wallace. I’ve since joined that forum that Mike Durward posted on, however, it would appear that he’s not posted there in quite a while now.

Would that number of bags adequately collect most of the aircraft remains? From newspaper reports I’ve looked at, remains were found quite far down the mountain, including one of the engines which was discovered by a journalist who climbed the mountain soon after the incident. I’m curious to know if indeed there are any remains left, I suspect there may be, but nothing of any magnitude.

I’ve asked for a copy of the report from the AAIB. Presumably the Viscount crashed into the north side of the mountain, as it was returning back into Glasgow airspace apparently.
