Yes of course, the Basel Vanguard crash slipped my mind apologies....
Additionally one should add British European Airways Flight BE706 flying from Heathrow to Salzburg, Austria.
The flight was operated by a Vickers Vanguard, G-APEC. Many of the victims were British, including a couple of BEA girls on Staff Travel who my pal David knew from working at the WLAT.
Sadly, he also knew the two BEA girls going on holiday to Cyprus aboard ill-fated BEA Comet G-ARCO lost south of Rhodes.
