About the confusion about which one of the two or three Flugfélag Íslands airlines this was then according to the Icelandic Air Museum
What is now Icelandair was the international part of the company Flugleiðir hf., basically just the english translation of the name. The domestic part was called Flugleiðir. They had the same logo 1 2 -- Dammit_steve ( talk) 22:41, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
Alvaldi pointed out to me on my talk page that on 18 February, Aviationwikiflight moved this article from 1947 Héðinsfjörður air crash to its current title, 1947 Flugfélag Íslands DC-3 crash, "Per WP:AVTITLE". I note that the aviation WikiProject prefers to name aviation accident/incident articles for the airline (and if possible the flight number), and I recognise that a redirect remains, but there is a WP:COMMONNAME issue here; the crash is generally referred to in terms of the location, Héðinsfjörður. Note the name of the corresponding Icelandic article, Flugslysið í Héðinsfirði. Alvaldi suggests that "plane crash" is more accurate than "air crash"; I think the move should be substantially reverted and the article moved to 1947 Héðinsfjörður plane crash. Note also the similar title 1986 Ljósufjöll air crash. Yngvadottir ( talk) 02:52, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
