The TU-104 and an indictment of the Soviet system.

Putting more or less the entirety of Northern Ireland's security services top echelon on one slightly dodgy helicopter was similarly stupid.

An acquaintance was flying a JetBanger on powerline patrol in the vicinity and was asked by Scottish to attend the locus. His aircraft was effectively the first responder, though he coulld do **** about the situation he found other than to describe it to Scottish (Information). His first impression was that the wreckage seemed to be that of a freighter carrying golf clubs. He told me that there seemed to hundreds of them scattered all over the hillside. No doubt absolutely vital equipment for a "security" conference in Scotland.
