Timeline
Retiring to his poultry farm in southern England, Thain died after suffering a heart attack on 6 August 1975, at the age of 54, in Berkshire.
It was later learned that slush on the runway had made it impossible for the Ambassador to gain flying speed. Thain was cleared in 1968. Despite this finding, German authorities continued to blame Thain.
The German airport authorities blamed Thain for the accident at the time, saying he did not de-ice the aircraft's wings, despite eyewitness statements indicating de-icing was not required. On Christmas Day 1960 he was dismissed by BEA and spent the next decade trying to clear his name. He never flew for an airline again.
On 6 February 1958, Thain was pilot in command of an Airspeed AS.57 Ambassador (Lord Burghley, G-ALZU) flying out of Munich. The aircraft was carrying the Manchester United football team back from a match in Yugoslavia.
Thain started his career as a Royal Air Force sergeant. He was later promoted to warrant officer and was given an emergency commission as an acting pilot officer in April 1944. He was promoted to pilot officer on probation in September that year. He was subsequently made flight lieutenant in May 1948, receiving a permanent commission in that rank in 1952. He retired from the RAF to join British European Airways (BEA).
James Thain (8 February 1921 – 6 August 1975) was a British aviator and former Royal Air Force officer. He was command pilot aboard BEA Flight 609 when it crashed in the 1958 Munich air disaster.
