Star Dust Falling. The Story of the Plane That Vanished - Jay Rayner

Description

When the remains of the Star Dust Lancastrian airliner were discovered on the Andean peak of Tupungato in January 2000 it immediately became headline news.

The discovery, like all discoveries, turned into something of a media scrum, with the Star Dust rapidly becoming a cause célèbre for curious mountaineers. But what about the hapless victims of the crash - all 11 of them. Six passengers and five crew members - their bones unceremoniously scattered about the mountainside. What were their lives like before they were cut so jarringly short?
