Thanks for your information. Let me know if you have a response from the Mairie In Py. I will try to progress this after my arrival in the Languedoc next week, Py is about an hour and a half's drive away - I am happy to visit Py and the Mairie to progress matters if this is possible, but as you may know, the French work in their own, mysterious ways! Let's hope the Mairie are amenable to suggestions!

as you may know there is much going on for the BMA stockport anniversary with a new book and new tv documentary
i recall the weekend 50 years ago very well waking up to the news of 2 Holiday tour 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)
