Talk:PIA Flight 705
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I realize that the two accident reports give a conflicting accounts of both the flap/slat (wing) configuration as well as the landing gear deployment. Will fix this as soon as i can get hold of the relevant reports.

This information is incredibly detailed but given the age of the incident I was wondering what the source of this information is.

I transcribed the list of victims from photographs of the memorial in Cairo that i took in August 1996. Also newspaper reports from Dawn May 1965, The Times (London) May 1965 and other newspapers. Some info is from aviation accident databases on the Internet.
I don't mean to bring up painful memories, but are you related to Mr. Shaukat Mecklai, one of the six survivors of the air crash? I realize Mrs. Mecklai died on Flight 705, so i apologize for asking this question.
My maternal grandfather died on Flight 705, so that is why i wrote the article.

Indeed I am related, he is my grandfather's brother.
