- (continued from previous page)evidence left to tell that there had been a crash was a patch of oil floating on the water.
The first body was found by a local fisherman named Joe West, of Glasthule Buildings, Glasthule. He had gone out to tend to his lobster pots, when he noticed something floating in the water. He did not take much notice of it at first, until it floated up beside his boat. He saw that it was a dead body and pulled it into the boat. The pilots name was Major Duncan. My father who was working on the Carlisle pier, saw the aeroplane swoop down into Dalkey Sound.
