So what do we know of that tragic event? In 1960 Belgium had withdrawn from the Congo, but mayhem followed and it sent troops back in to protect its nationals.
The UN was asked for help and a peacekeeping force, including two battalions of Irish troops, was deployed to restore order.
To make a bad situation worse, Katanga, with the connivance of elements who wished to get their hands on the mineral-rich province, seceded. As the UN sought to reunite the country, clashes with Katanga forces followed.
Katanga also had two, maybe three, Fouga Magister jets which flew sorties in support of its ground forces. On September 14, 1961, four days before Frank Ivers was to die in the plane crash, one of those planes strafed members of the 35th Irish Battalion s A Company at Jadotville. It swooped in over the Irish trenches on a reconnaissance flight and soldiers could see the pilot merrily waving at them.
