18 September 1961...
As often during the aftermath of a passenger aircraft, the victims' wrist watches are found standing still at the time of crash, which together with the HF radio messages, radar data and the speed of the aircraft, helps investigators to make a clear image of what happened...
Sadly the crashof this Swedish DC-6 "Albertina" remains an interesting & fascinating mystery...

Lovely pic. Also just in time for the 80th Anniversary of Operation Market Garden, the Allied attempt to ultimately capture the bridge over the Rhine at Arnhem. Still the largest airborne operation in history.
