Sun, 8 Apr 1951
IDJ adds this one, noted in the Civil Aviation Department Annual Report:
The Civil aircraft concerned was a DC-3 of Siamese Airways which on the 9th April, 1951 crashed into the sea, a mile or so east of Cape D'Aguilar. Sixteen persons were killed ...
IDJ found a later reference to it in Peter Moss's book "No Babylon". Moss describes an outing on a trawler from Aberdeen, that pulls up what he believes to be a DC3's landing gear in its nets.
