>The Sabre Jet crashed and finished in the Old Lane near the pond just off Speke Hall Avenue. It was earlier than 1954/55 - I would guess 1949/50. There was also a Viscount crash onto the Mothaks factory in the early 1950's. At one of the Speke Airshows a famous Frenchman, known as The Birdman, died when his parachute failed to open and he crashed into a field near Hunts Cross. He was supposed to glide using wooden wings to land at the airport but I think they were damaged as he left the plane. It happened on a Bank Holiday about 1956.

Hello to anyone who may remember me.

Good to hear from you Tom - I think you are now in Ontario?
Tomorrow I am going to Speke and will be in Liverpool for 3/4 days seeing some old school friends and relatives. I will meet Ray Davies (School Way) in the morning at the old airport terminal - now Marriott Hotel. Speke never had one of them in the old days.

Will send you some news when I return.

Best regards

Brian
