Hi Duncan, I have just seen your post regarding your dad and the crash of a light twin. I did my instructors rating and twin engine rating with Hector Taylor at East Midlands in around 1974. Pretty sure the accident was in the Piper Apache I did my twin rating in. I vaguely remember it was flying back from Europe and both engines stopped and they managed to force land it in a field. Rumour has it Hector was in the back but was first out the door 😊. Not sure about that but they did a good job and all walked away. I’m guessing around 1974/5
