Aircraft wreckage on Box Law, near Largs of de Havilland Devon VP969, which crashed on 3rd June,1958. At the time of the accident, the aircraft had been flying from the Isle of Man to Renfrew. At Renfrew, it was to collect passengers bound for the former RAF Andover airfield, which was a Royal Flying Corps and Royal Air Force base station. However, while flying over the Largs hills, the aircraft encountered turbulence and crashed just below Box Law. The 2 pilots survived the impact and made their own way to to lonely cottage of Howcraig; which was the home of the shepherd, William Cameron and his family.

  • Thanks for the comment Alan. Pleased that you enjoyed my little video. If you go in search of the wreck of VP969, be sure to also visit the wreck of the Vickers Viking on the neighbouring hill of Irish Law. Have a look at my other video Vickers Viking G-AIVE (Aircraft Wreck).
