  • Kegworth Air Disaster.

    Twenty five years ago this evening, a British Midland flight from London Heathrow to Belfast crashed near the M1 motorway whilst attempting an emergency landing at East Midland airport. Among the 47 people who died were 5 members of the armed forces who were returning to duty in the Province:

    WO1 David Hastings RAPC
    Cpl Timothy Hicks RMP
    L/Cpl Judith Pattison WRAC
    Sgt Richard Ramsaroop RAF
    Pte Jonathan Turner RPC

    We will Remember Them.
    You cannot fight a war with one hand tied behind your back.

          Be who you are and say what you feel...
          Because those that matter, don't mind.
          And those that mind, don't matter!

              WO1 Hastings is one of our graves in Gloucester; it's a nice private headstone in the Cremation part of Coleford Cemetry; sadly I think it is only me and the wife; and our offline member in Gloucester who visit.

                I know you do Phil and I'm sure he appreciates it.
                As you know, one of the many reasons for starting the gravewatch was so that graves like his do get visited.

                  Ironic to think of the dagers we faced over there and then to die in a plane crash,like our 'rosey" Gnr Rose who survived 71 tour of Belfast to be killed in an RTA near Lydd in 72, we will remember them.
                  Spanners do it with their tools.
