The 40th Anniversary
On Sunday 18th August 2024, friends and relatives joined the survivors at the site to remember the passengers and crew of WJ897.
The editor of 'FlyPast' magazine was also in attendance following the publication in July of a comprehensive article about the aircraft, the LAPG and Mike Twite, the first editor of the magazine.
After the memorial, many of the friends and family had lunch together at the nearby Roebuck at Draycott where the archives were available for inspection. If you have any items of interest relating to Varsity WJ897 / G-BDFT, please contact us via the links on the 'Contact' page.
