The crew list below included Ground Crew.

Dear Mr Johnstone

I hope you find this information of interest. The crew list was taken from official paperwork found by us at the crash site but they may not have all been on this aircraft. I would appreciate it if you would treat the crew list as confidential. I hope to meet you soon but will keep in touch and if you visit Dumfries please look me up.

Yours faithfully
