How a flight to the Mediterranean became a day of terror for 137 passengers and crew.
It was August 22nd, 1985, and the start of another busy summer day at Manchester Airport (MAN) in the north of England. Passengers were excited to be boarding their annual flight to the sun for a week or two - families, couples, and friends queued up at the British Airtours check-in desks, handing over their bags for their early morning flight to Corfu, one of the larger Greek Islands.
