Fifty years on from the Island’s worst ever air disaster, there are plans to hold a special commemorative ceremony.
In February 1958, a Silver City Bristol 170 Freighter travelling from the Isle of Man to Manchester crashed killing 35 people at Winter Hill in Lancashire.
Most of those aboard were Manx businessmen on their way to a motor trade event and the disaster touched every part of the Island.
Howard Callow (pictured) is a member of the Rotary Club of Douglas. He says this year’s event will take place on Wednesday, February 27 – fifty years to the day the plane crashed:
160 patients written to after medical records found in ex-Manx Care employee's home
Crews attend fire at Animal Waste Plant
Children's advocate calls for legislation to protect young people in care
Rate of inflation falls to 3.2%
Diana Parkes receives CBE for services to vulnerable children
Grave designed by Manx artist restored ahead of celebratory event
