Fascinating programme, well researched and linked between events and the 'salvage' by the BBC. Sad ending for co's wife.

I had the occasion to fly from Blackbushe to Paya Lebar in Hermes G-ALDC and arrived Singapore the day before Man United's Munich Elizabethan disaster. 3 days in Ankara cracked starboard oleo leg on landing on snow covered airport.

The trip in all took 10 days, luxurious fittings by Hastings standards, the company operating G-ALDC was Airwork Ltd with tiny letters under the tailplane: B.O.A.C.

Only example is at Duxford minus wings.
