Post Air crash 1967

Sorry this info is a bit late but I have only just seen your query. I was married on June 3rd 1967 and had a honeymoon booked for Malgrat de Mar in Spain. We were to fly from Gatwick midday on the Sunday 4th June. In the morning I listened to the radio and heard of the disaster. As my new wife was nervous of flying I kept it to myself. We even flew over the disaster site without realising it and landed in Barcelona. We went to our hotel in Malgrat de Mar and settled in. When we went to the dining room it was half empty and when we enquired why we were told that the Swan Tours Flight that should have brought in the rest of the holidaymakers was the flight that had crashed. The reason for my pre-amble is to let you know how eerie it was to sit in that half empty dining room for the rest of the week. It was just as if we were with the ghosts of those that should have been there.
