Sydenham Bunny6.......This could be it...
Since posting earlier, I've just found another newspaper, the Daily Mirror of the same date, June 5th. 1967. A brief report here from an inside page......
( Also includes a photograph of Peter McCormick and girlfriend.)

Seven youths, who planned a 'flying holiday' over pints in their local pub, died in the Perpignan disaster.
Regulars at the Fox and Hounds in Sydenham heard of their deaths last night.
Landlord Arthur Cooper said, " They were so jovial and well-mannered, and were never any trouble to anyone. They were marvellous people - not an ounce of nastiness in them".
The seven who died were Brian Cavanagh, Barry Hancock, Alan Vincent, John McCormick, Edward Spooner, Brenan Wilson, and David Allen.
All were aged between eighteen and twenty. David lived in Lambeth. The others all came from Sydenham.
Another of the lads at the 'local' - 19 year old Peter McCormick- cancelled his reservation on the same flight at the last minute.
He said last night, " I had to make a choice between getting engaged, and spending £75
on a holiday with the lads.......he got engaged.
Peter, of Earlsthorpe Road, Sydenham, went on: " We were all the greatest of friends. It's terrible that everyone's gone like this. All they wanted was a bit of fun".
