    A retired Naval engineer has shed dramatic new light on the Tuskar Rock tragedy.

    It is 40 years today since an Aer Lingus flight from Cork to London went down off the County Wexford coast, killing 61 people.

    Moss Egan was on board the L.E. Cliona and spent several weeks at sea, working alongside the British Navy trying to recover the wreckage of the aircraft.

    He said he recalled one discovery in particular, of something which many believe was part of a target drone, a piece of equipment used to test the accuracy of missiles.

    Mr Egan said that it was taken away and never seen again.
