The lost Bury team of the Paris air disaster
In 1974 a Turkish Airlines plane crashed near Paris, killing 18 members of a rugby team.
Eighteen members of Bury St Edmunds Rugby Union Football Club died when a Turkish Airlines plane crashed on 3 March 1974 near Paris.
The members were on their way home after watching a France-England rugby match in Paris.
Just minutes after take-off from Orly international airport, the aircraft came down in Ermenonville Forest, just outside the French capital, killing all 346 people on board.
