Can you help?
Hi there Ann, How nice of you to think of me, But I am now stuck really as to where to point you in the first instance, except maybe use the powers of Facebook to try and find Linda in Australia - A start would be to see if you can find out what city she first moved to, and also if there any records of her emigration & immigration from the UK in to OZ that can be sourced and work on from there. Those records should be kept.
How did Linda get to Oz? - was she a £10 POM (using as many did the Government assisted passage)
Did Linda go by sea or by air?
All of those records should be able to be obtained but I am not sure of how to begin. Try Somerset House and Australia House in London?

All I know re your close Relatives Henry and Ann Smith who died in the crash are as you know too, buried in the Accident grave at the Brookwood Cemetery near Woking.

Lastly, and
most definitely worth contacting, is
ITV's Long Lost Family.
I possibly think that your sad, but also interesting story may just be something they could help you with.
The facts are that this terrible air crash happened around just 10 hours before another tragic holiday air crash occurred at Stockport (BMA Argonaut from Majorca to Manchester that killed 72) and that June Sunday in 1967 I can remember so well as such a black and awful time.
If the Producers realise their help can provide you with such closure
then go for it.
