1946 - Air Crash in Wicklow
« on: Friday 07 March 08 01:20 UTC (UK) »
One or two Irish RootsChatters may be able to assist some French people add to their memories for their family histories. In August 1946 a plane bringing 23 French girl guides to Dublin crashed into the side of Djouce Mountain in Wicklow. Air traffic control thought that the plane had turned back and were unaware that it had crashed. Remarkably two guide leaders left the wreck in pitch darkness and made their way to a house near Enniskerry. Twelve hours later rescuers discovered the wreckage and there were no fatalities. Les Guides de France are keen to hear from anyone who may have visited the French Guides in hospital. Please contact the Commissioner .... see the link for details www.heritageireland.info/djoucemountain/reports.html
