Forty-two years ago a French adventurer hijacked a Hawker Siddeley 125 business jet over Spain and forced the crew to fly him to Algeria.
It was one of the very first aerial hijacking ncidents and a very high-profile one at that because the passenger was Moise Tshombe, a former Congolese PM wanted by half-a-dozen governments.
The pilots of the chartered jet were David Taylor and Trevor Coppleston, both Brits.
Whatever happened to them? Anybody in touch with either?
