Sunnyjohn & BigFrank,
There are another two fatals on ASN's database.
18/02/98 another Metro operated by Ibertrans Aerea which crashed during an attempted return to BCN after departure for a nightmail flt to Brussels, 2 fatalities.
10/10/01, this time a Merlin IVA (pretty much the same type) which crashed into the Med with 10 fatalities following a suspected lightning strike/CB encounter whilst flying BCN- Oran.
Another couple of non fatal accidents in there too, for good (?) measure.
