I do indeed have a Notts one

Correct

why would they mind ?

It's not just teletexts ass I'm going to kick..

Anyway, this is detracting from what was a painful anniversary for the people of Kegworth and surrounding areas, we just have to hope nothing like this happens again.

I used to love that programme!

Can we just get one thing straight, is Kegworth officially in Leicestershire or Snottinghamshire? I ask because teletext called it a 'village in Nottinghamshire'

Derbyshire postcode.

Loughborough/ Leicestershire telephone code. 01509.

But i class it as Leicestershire, because then i don't get classified with the Derby & Forest scum

Maybe you are too young to remember it, but reading that reminded me of Bradley Hardacre's daughter Charlotte in the old 80s tv comedy series Brass

I remember, but never watched it. Don't know why.

My dad was a Leicestershire fireman and attended the crash - didn't see him for two days, but he has always refused to speak about the experience and still won't talk about how it affected him to this day; he retired from the fire service weeks later.

A few years back at a Fire Service Benevolence Fundraising day I met a bloke who used to work with my dad, and he told me about the horrific and targic events at the crash site and just some of the traumatic things they experienced on the day.

Such a terrible tragedy and thoughts go out to the families of those who lost their lives.

That's often the case with emergency services personnel isn't it? My aunt was the sister on a children's ward in a hospital and she never spoke about it because she had to deal with all sorts of dreadful things. A mate of mine's Dad was a traffic policeman and some of the stuff he's told us about is a beyond comprehension - not surprisingly, it sent him a bit funny for a while and he ended up retiring earlier than planned.

We may moan about coppers etc in certain circumstances but it's easy to forget some of the horrible stuff they have to do as part of a day's work

Castle Donington and Kegworth are both Leicestershire.

I was born just up the road in Donington itself, though I don't recall the coverage of the day - I was only 3 at the time - but I do recall being fascinated by it when I heard about it later in my secondary school years. There was a collection of old papers and such at my school in Denby and I read some of the papers from the day.

Being into aviation, I've read about it quite a bit since then... there's very few air disasters that seem so close to home - during my lifetime and pretty much in my home town. It's odd, really, I have no actual connection to the disaster - no friends, relatives, and nobody involved in the rescue operate - but somehow feel it's close to home. It happened in my neck of the woods so it must be relevant to me... that kinda thing.

Tragic stuff.
