Just heard on the radio (www.cbc.ca/asithappens) that a research student Ms.Cowan from U of Dundee found letters and a few other items while researching (I didn't catch what) at Mount Mont Blanc in the Swiss Alps.
She is looking to get in touch with some families who lost loved once in order to give the found letters, perhaps other items. I remember from the old days how the news of the crash was received....with horror and shock. There was I think someone from the Rebello family of Chicalim who was on his way to Europe who dies in the crash. Not sure there were other Goans (perhaps some staff).
