Flight number?[edit]

According to planecrashinfo.com, the flight designation is Flight 304. Meltdown627 (talk) 23:21, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

One other aviation editor who I respect, said planecrashinfo isn't always reliable. BTW Aviation Safety Network doesn't have this accident listed at all....William 01:42, 28 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It is now listed on ASN... [1] Meltdown627 (talk) 18:00, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I checked a 1955 TCAL timetable image at [2]; a morning flight from Chicago to Montreal is listed as Flight 302; ASN lists the flight number as 305, which is the Montreal-Chicago route, not Chicago-Montreal! Meltdown627 (talk) 19:10, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Accident Report(s), Contemporary News Report(s) - Missing sources[edit]

As far as I can tell (without footnotes) this article is based on the 1958 account by Knight & Knight and the 2001 account by Job. I only have access to the second of these, while a good/informative writer Job didn't provide the source(s) for his account. It may have been a paraphrasing of the 1958 account or based entirely on the DOT report I've managed to locate, but I don't have access to the 1958 book to confirm this.

I've begun a search for the original accident reports and have managed to locate the original DOT report at:

CAB Accident Investigation Report: Trans-Canada Air Lines Viscount, CF-TGR, Flat Rock, Michigan, July 9, 1956

It's not clear if there are separate Canadian (Operator) or UK (Manufacturer) reports. Another area that might be worth exploring is trying to track down the contemporary Canadian and US newspaper reports of the incident. Graham1973 (talk) 03:41, 6 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
