Aer Lingus Flight 712

Flight 712, operated by Aer Lingus crashed en route from Cork to London on 24 March 1968 killing all 61 passengers and crew. The plane, a Vickers Viscount 803 named "St. Phelim", crashed into the sea off Tuskar Rock, County Wexford. Although the investigation into the crash lasted two years, a cause was never determined. There has long been popular speculation that the aircraft was shot down by a British experimental missile.[2][3] Aberporth in West Wales was at the time the most advanced British missile testing station.
