Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: The marker on the communal grave of the twelve recovered bodies from the 1952 Aer Lingus accident, near to Caeathro, Gwynedd, Great Britain.
Since posting a photo of the grave on Geograph in 2006, I have received a number of e-mails from Ireland enquiring about the location of the grave and/or requesting a list of the names on the stone. Some have been from relatives of the deceased who wish to visit, others have been from people who remember one or other of the victims. Recently, I was contacted by a Dublin man enquiring about Melody Laker, aged 5, who died in the accident together with her mother (Dorothy Laker) and her father who was an Aer Lingus pilot. But for a last minute change of plan, Melody, a next door neighbour, was to have stayed with this gentleman's family in Dublin while her mother went to London. The grave contains the bodies of 12 of the 23 victims. The other 11 were never recovered. The site of the crash at Cwm Edno is marked by a memorial stone. |
