The Lighter Side / Memorial for many ~ Spanish accident 1959
« on: Monday 03 September 07 23:15 BST (UK) »
I have been to Brookwood cemetery today and spotted two memorials relating to air accidents. One relating to an Iberia flight from Malaga to London that crashed near Fernhurst, Sussex. The other was an Air Ferry DC-4 that crashed in the Pyrenees the same year.
However, next to these two memorials is one entitled "In Memory of those who died as a result of an accident in Spain on 19th August 1959".
28 people are listed and at least two were medical students.
Does anyone have any idea on this? I do not have a plane crash for this day, so perhaps a coach crash or hotel blaze perhaps?
I don't think there is necessarily a link with the local area.
Thanks
Ray
