i hear there is a new book and a TV documentary called six miles from home

and i gather some memorial services at stockport will take place
i think a new names plaque has been added too

also on the same day is the air ferry DC4 crash anniversary - another holiday flight from UK that went down near the village of PY on Mt Canigou Pyrenees on night app to PGP
anyone wishing to find out about events for this - there is an air ferry crash thread on here


i recall the weekend 50 years ago very well waking up to the news of 2 Holiday tours air crashes air ferry and BMA at stockport
Lyon tours and arrowsmith i think were the companies

the sad events were pivotal in tour operators ditching old piston fleets and switching to new jets and jet-props (turboprops
