Tudor Plane Crash Sparks Inquiry In Dublin To Wales Flight
Ambulance took Being Probed to Lilandow as officials noted the Tudor could carry far more than the normal 44 on short hops from Dublin to Wales. Air Vice Marshal Donald Bennett led today's inquiry, recalling Bennett’s 1948 retirement after big ships left public airways following accidents. He cited Tudors’ Berlin airlift record and the plane’s wartime Lancastrian origins costing £11 million. Previously the worst single aviation death toll was 55 on November 2, 1949 in a Washington collision.
