- Willie_Logan_(Loganair) abstract "William \"Willie\" Logan (1913–1966) was a Scottish construction engineer who contributed to many important infrastructure projects in Scotland during the 1950s and 1960s, primarily road networks bridges and Hydroelectric schemes. Although his family background (the business was started by his father, Duncan Logan) was based in Muir of Ord, he was educated at Dingwall Academy, and lived, in Dingwall, in a house built to his own designs called Parklea, which was also the name of his wife Helen Dunbars previous family home in Dingwall town centre.To facilitate travel to projects throughout Scotland, in 1962 he bought an Edinburgh based, one pilot, one aircraft air taxi business which he renamed Loganair. By 1966 Loganair was a public Transport Operator with five aircraft based at Glasgow Airport and continued to provide transportation around numerous work sites for the Logan Group on a pre-booked basis. During the evening of Friday, 22nd January, 1966 he telephoned Loganair Operations requesting an aircraft to fly him from Edinburgh to Inverness Airport but, when told no suitable aircraft was available, he said he would return home by the evening train. He then apparently changed his mind and called an unapproved air taxi company, Strathallan Air Serviced Ltd. to fly him to Inverness in their Aztec Aircraft. Following a sequence of errors, breaches of regulations and omissions throughout the flight to Edinburgh to pick up Mr. Logan, then on to Inverness. The pilot, one Peter Tunstall commenced an unapproved spiral descent through cloud, at night overhead the Inverness Non-directional Beacon that was sited on Craig Dunain, a hill of 922 feet, some five miles West of the Airport. Being without local knowledge and carrying no suitable charts, the pilot thought the beacon was sited on the airport. Still flying in cloud he crashed on the hillside. On impact, the cabin door burst open and Mr. Logan, still strapped to his seat and probably asleep as was his practice during evening flights, was ejected from the cabin and killed. The pilot sustained a broken arm and minor injuries and eventually walked down the hillside to Inverness to report his accident. Until then no-one, other than the pilot was aware of anything amiss. Without a flight plan being filed at Edinburgh Airport, the aircraft had not been reported overdue by Inverness Airport. The wreckage and Mr. Logan's body were discovered by the Emergency Services soon after daybreak. At the subsequent inquiry, the pilot claimed no memory of his previous evening's activity and for reasons not made public, no charges were brought against him. Because Mr. Logan had chosen to ignore his own Company's insurance policy that his flying should be limited to scheduled airlines, Loganair or a public transport company approved by Loganair, Logan's insurers refused to make any compensation payments. Strathallan's insurance cover was a derisory £3,500 in accordance with the Warsaw Convention and paid to the Logan Company. The death of Mr. Logan went on to affect the lives of hundreds of people and cumulated in the liquidation of the Logan Group in 1975. The share capital of Loganair had been transferred to the National Commercial Bank in 1968 Mrs. Logan had to vacate her Company owned home which was then sold. He is buried in Fodderty Cemetery, near Strathpeffer where his grave is marked with a stone in the shape of a section of the Tay Road Bridge.".
