[edit] C-47 Dakota crash

This Wikipedia article seems to be the only source online for the apparent second crash, and indeed I really doubt it happened as Aer Lingus didn't operate US military aircraft - which the C-47 was.

I did, however, find reference to an Aer Lingus DC-3 - similar aircraft - crashing in England not Wales, in 1952 not 1957, with 23 fatalities of 23 on board. The site lists only one other crash for Aer Lingus, namely the Tuskar Rock one. Theres a fair few other references to the crash happening, so I guess this is it.

Additionally: [1] has 8 incidences down for Aer Lingus, five non-fatal, none in 1957. --Kiand 18:49, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

212.2.168.243 17:44, 8 April 2007 (UTC)==Tuskar Rock/Irish Aviation Authority== I am not too sure how the Irish Aviation Authority created a report on Tuskar Rock as the authority was only created in 1994 apparently? Was it a review in recent years? Djegan 20:08, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

I've rewritten this reference to (hopefully) make it clearer. The original report dates from 1970 - there was a review by the Air Accident Investigation Unit (part of Dept of Transport, not IAA) in 1998 and a new report by independent experts commissioned by the Gov't and published in 2002.

[edit] Incidents and Accidents

Added some more info about runway incursion - seemed inadequate with just the original statement (especially comparing the detail used above), despite linking to full page.
