G-AWZT Trident Edinburgh September 1976

Somewhat poignant - I have included the second picture for the first time. It was either the following day, or a few days later, G-AWZT was involved in the terrible mid-air collision over Zagreb.

...over 40 years ago, may they all RIP.

Yeah, remember that day well - so tragic and no need for it at all. :cry:

Thanks for poignant remembrance to all lost .
Was on T1/2s at the time , deadheaded back to LHR that day . One of the 'gurls was in a right flurry trying to get hold of her hubby who was on T3s. [ no mobs then ] luckily on a different trip . Pax sat next to us , he should have been on that flt [ showed his ticket ] , but delayed by business !
AFO Flint was known to us as John , his 'bro was part of McGuinness Flint folk/rock/blues group .
