I didn't know where to put the topic, but I am very interested of buying/getting this movie somehow, because I can not find it.

Anyone can help?

I remember watching it. It was I believe filmed at Bailbrook (or wherever the IAL ATC School was then) as (according to what I was told at the time) NATS declined fiilming facilites due to the (as usual) fact the producers refused to let them see the script in advance.

I bet all IAL wanted to see was the cash in advance!

how bout the book
 

there is a book about this accident and the subsequent trials....

Zagreb 14 by Richard Weston and Ronald Hurst. published by Aronson 1982

its excellent, but hard to get. i eventually found it on amazon. Weston was one of the lawyers for the family of one of the BA crew. but ended up representing Tasic after the initial trial

Apologies for my flippant remark, bearing in mind the subject matter. I should have thought before posting!

NATS certainly had a copy at the College of Knowledge around the time it was first broadcast because they showed it to trainee controllers.

Have you tried contacting Granada?

No, couldn't find any contact.

The external shots of Zagreb Centre were reputed to be Bolton Town Hall, which apparently bore a striking resemblance to it.

I remember the documentary - I was an Area controller in the Gulf at the time and it made my blood run cold.

I also still have a copy of 'Zagreb 14'. I lent it to a colleague last year and he too commented what a sobering read it was.

Aviator_IT,
There should be a copy (rather old VHS one) at the training center in Belgrade. If I manage to locate it, I will pm you.

Thank you Jovica, that would be very kind.

Pozdrav
