My thanks are due to the late Richard Stokes, Rector of Blessington,
through whose initiative the nearest relatives of all the crew were traced and
were therefore able to attend the Memorial Service which he arranged for the
50th anniversary of the crash. This was attended by representatives of the
Irish and British Governments and Armed Services. My thanks also to the people
of Blessington for the continuing friendship and help which they have given me
throughout the years.
I wish also to thank Dr A.R. Bridbury for his friendship and considerable
help in research for this book in the Public Records Office at Kew.
The author, Colin Hill
