Next Tuesday, February 22, will mark 78 years since the tragedy, so let’s take a look back at how the Mi Amigo crash was reported at the time.
You can also see how the memorial has developed over the years as school boy Tony Foulds, who was one of the children playing in Endcliffe Park, refuses to let the men be forgotten.
