On this date, 27th August in 1983, after a night out in the Boot Inn and Jets Nightclub, Neil Fogarty from Magenta Crescent in Santry, Dublin woke up in a cargo igloo ... IN LONDON HEATHROW.
Neil's sister, Fiona, talks us through events that night and when the Guards called to the front door on that Saturday morning.
Retired Aer Lingus pilot, Captain Pat Campbell gives us an eye-witness account of how events unfolded in Heathrow.
