The Llandow Air Disaster | Tragedy After Welsh Rugby Win 

I was fifteen at the time of the crash and remember the sense of shock felt throughout South Wales.

As an avid explorer of former WW2 airfields, I have just explored the remains of RAF Llandow and in the course of my research this tragic event came to my attention. Thank you for your excellent presentation of the facts.

Thank you for a simple film, my uncle was Andrew Graham who was the flight Engineer and also an experienced pilot, one of the 5 crew whom were all highly experienced former RAF Flightcrew

Very well done. I grew up in Llantwit Major (now live in US) but remember my dad telling us about this awful disaster.

Wonderful video, a family member of mine was on the flight and we still have newspaper clippings and the news report on vhs.

Another excellent film Chris. The story was sympathetically told and I learnt about an event I had never heard of until now.

I know the area well having spent many of my early years at RAF St Athan. We moved there not long after the air disaster so it was still very uppermost in people's minds. I expect some of the search party we see in the film were from Saints. The only upside of the disaster is that the pilot managed to guide it down avoiding homes. Such a terrible tragedy though. May they all be resting in eternal peace.

I love all your videos on interesting points about south wales history. Do you know if there is any remains of the plane or belongings on the plane in something like a museum?

Excellent video. The story is thoroughly covered and sensitively told. A sad tale, but an important one.

Thank you. Beautifully done.

Well done. What a sensitive treatment to a crash I had never heard of before. A pity that RU-vid/Google didn't think to treat the subject with equal sensitivity - they still interrupted the video with unwanted adverts - shame on you RU-vid.

Brilliant storytelling, brought to life by the photos & videos used. Loved this, m8.

Excellent video Chris. I had heard of it when someone else posted on the Glamorgan History FB group. However, your video covered so much more and in a sensitive and respectful way.

I had never heard of that. Many thanks.

Very well made video, thank you

Another informative video Chris. Well done!

Superb, very informative. Nice job

Superb video. The story was one that I was not familiar with....thanks Chris, brilliant work.

So sad. When people moan about 'elf n safety' they forget that it's come about because of tragic events such as this

My great uncle, air crew, was killed in that crash.

Turns out where I live currently and I have most of my life it was 2 miles up from where I live

I never heard about this

@Chris Lloyd you should change "became the world's worst air disaster" --> "became the world's worst air disaster at the time". The statement is misleading.
