Bristol Evening Post Tuesday April 17th 1973
The official list of victims and survivors of the Swiss air disaster was read today’s meeting of Abridge Rural Council and showed that Bristol suffered more dead than any other place. Council chairman, CIr. John Walter, read out the list.
The figures are:
Survived | Died | |
Abridge | 15 | 12 |
Outcome & Redhill | 3 | 6 |
Cheddar | 8 | 17 |
Wedmore | – | 19 |
Winscombe | – | 1 |
Wrington | 1 | 6 |
Weston super- Mare | 2 | 5 |
Elsewhere | 6 | 9 |
Bristol | 2 | 25 |
In addition, two pilots and two hostesses died, while two other hostesses escaped.
I don’t think any of us realised just how widespread the casualty figures were, said Clir. Walter,
