In a Bizarre way, this incident got me interested in aviation, my dad worked in the "Pump" room at Greater Manchester Transport on Hyde road in Manchester, I was ten and remember him telling my mum his colleague had been killed in this accident, it has always stuck with me as it was my first experience of death.
Asked my dad about this today and the chaps name was Jack Marr, apparently another guy at the same depot died along with his wife, according to my dad a caring chap in one department advised this guy who was having marital problems to take his wife on holiday to see if they could sort out their differences, but they were booked onto the fateful flight.
