Interview with Alan Black - The Sole Survivor of the Kingsmill Massacre

from The Troubles Podcast · host Oisin Feeney

This episode is being released on the 50-year anniversary of the Kingsmill Massacre; an attack which saw members of the provisional IRA march 11 Protestant factory workers off a bus, line them up and execute them. All were killed, except for Alan and this week he tells us what life is like after such a life-altering event. We talked about a lot of things, and honed in on that English accent heard on the night of the killing and how Alan does not believe that was Captain Robert Nairac but instead the clues point toward ex-paratrooper turned IRA paramilitary, Paddy O' Kane.
