A new documentary explores a 1943 crash of a Wellington bomber from RAF Limavady that killed all six crew members at the foot of Errigal in County Donegal.

The aircraft took off from the Limavady base in Northern Ireland. Debris remains visible in the bog where it came down. Victims included Pilot Leonard Ashby Court, Belfast residents John Steen Campbell and James Gilmore, and English crewmen Geoffrey Scott-Farthing, John D’Arcy Wal, and Ronald William Gutteridge.

Journalist Kevin Magee produced the film Tubaiste sa Phortach for BBC Gaeilge, with funding from Northern Ireland Screen’s Irish Language Broadcast Fund. Magee visited the crash site while cycling in Donegal and researched the incident and crew.

The documentary features the pilot's son, Ian Court, aged 84 from Leicestershire, visiting the site for the first time. County Donegal locals maintain a memorial there for the crew.

Rare footage shows the interior of the former RAF Limavady base. Magee also examined a surviving Wellington bomber at Brooklands Museum in Surrey.

Tubaiste sa Phortach airs on BBC Two Northern Ireland and BBC iPlayer on March 29 at 10pm as part of Seachtain na Gaeilge programming.
