15th July 1964

Floair 403 52n 35w 0852 F (not noted) 52n 30w 0955 53n 20w 1155

A light delivery from CYQX/Gander to EINN/Shannon, type and identity not obtained. You will note the two hours to cover the 10 degrees from 30w to 20w!

On a recent examination of the Ballygirreen supervisor diaries, I noted that this flight was the subject of an alert, earlier that day. At 0753 Gander issued an alert stating that the last contact they had with Floair 403 was at 0518 at 50n 50w. An official alert was launched at 0820 but contact was secured by weather ship 'C' at 0830.
