THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT OUR MEMORIAL WEB SITE:

This web site and the memorial are the result of the work, effort and generosity of many people, both 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. It is maintained as a labour of love - it is in no way commercial!

No names are given and you will find no details of the actual crash on this website 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 'General information' link or webmaster link to do so.

All times are given in G.M.T.

From time to time we receive requests for information about the accident.  Obviously we have far more than appears on the site, but much has come from those involved and it must remain private. We would love to hear from you with information and comments about the site,  but please respect the privacy of those involved.  If you wish to contact anyone, follow the link below and we will pass the message.  However many involved have asked that their privacy be respected and this is, and always will be paramount.
