Remembering the Llandow Air Disaster 75 years on
About this episode
On 12 March, 1950, what was then considered the worst crash in the history of civil aviation occurred when a plane carrying 78 Welsh rugby fans and five crew crashed into a field near Llandow in the Vale of Glamorgan. The plane was packed with supporters fresh from celebrating a Triple Crown won in Ireland. Of the 83 people on board, only three survived. The Welsh Rugby Union Podcast hears from WRU Rugby Heritage manager Peter Owens.
