It was hard to tell and with the snow and Mr. Lloyd's famous trek, thought I had it.
Captain James Thain was suspended from British European Airways and made a scapegoat. He spent the next 11 years trying to clear his name. It cost him his job and because BEA had sacked him he lost his all his pension rights, they even fined him for the loss of his airline pilots cap! Rough justice indeed for a man who was an injured survivor and victim. Two German inquiries had been held into the crash and on both occasions it blamed him.
It was not until 1969 that the results of a British investigation revealed it was slush on the runway, the responsibility of Munich airport, and not ice on the wings which was the responsibility of the pilot - that caused the crash.
The British findings concluded: "Blame for the accident is not to be imputed to Captain Thain." But the Germans never accepted this, even to this day 50 years later the German authorities still refuse to accept the British findings on the accident. No apology or restitution was ever made to him or his family for this terrible injustice
