Milton Keynes Aviation Society presents “The Air France DC-4 Disasters" by Kevin PatienceIn June 1950 two DC-4 aircraft en-route to Paris from the Far East crashed into the sea at night off Bahrain, two days apart. A unique occurrence in aviation annals that was blamed on the two pilots. The remains of one aircraft were rediscovered in 1994 by tonight’s speaker, author Kevin Patience, who researched the truth behind the cover up by the aviation authorities and found some surprising results. Venue: Kents Hill Community Centre, Frithwood Crescent, Kents Hill, Milton Keynes, MK7 6HQ. Doors open at 7.30 p.m. and lecture begins at 8.00 p.m. Visitors are very welcome - £5.00 per head.

Hi Micky, I'm not aware of a summary of the talk that relates to the DC-4 crashes, but by way of setting the scene Kevin did give brief details of his background in the RAF and how he came to be in Bahrain. Some of that is included here: www.publicspeakerscorner.co.uk/kevin-patience/regards Alisdair

Hi Micky,
yes Kevin's talk did indeed suggest microbursts as the probable cause of the crashes.
