News stories from recent history that have left a lasting impression on the West of England. This edition looks back to 1973, when a charter flight from Bristol crashed on its approach to Basel in Switzerland. The programme recalls the tragic story, examining its impact on the handful of survivors and on relatives of the 108 passengers who died - most of whom were women from three small villages in Somerset.
