This web site and the memorial are the result of the work, effort and generosity of many people, from the Island, the mainland, Europe, Canada and Australia. The project has taken thousands of hours to create and maintain.  If you visit the site or use the information for research, please respect the memories and wishes of those who survived and those who didn't make it on that fateful day. Please remember also the feelings of the rescuers, witnesses and  families of all those involved.

We would be pleased to receive comments or memories from anyone with knowledge of, or connections with, the incident, or with Channel Airways.  This is a big site with many links  You can either skim or delve into the details. To read it fully will take you several hours and there are many links from the main page.

This web site is maintained as a labour of love - it is in no way commercial and takes a great deal of time and money to maintain.  No names are given and you will find no details of the actual crash other than locations and times.    This is a deliberate decision to preserve the dignity and privacy of those involved and their families.  If relatives of those involved wish to make contact with each other, we will be pleased to facilitate this. Please use the EMAIL LINK to do so. 

At the start of the project the organisers gave a guarantee that no personal information or details would be passed to third parties to preserve the privacy or all those involved.  From time to time we receive requests for information and will be happy to assist where possible but this will not extend to specific details of the crash or any personal details of those involved. The privacy and dignity or those on G-AGZB and their families is, and always will be,  paramount.
