75 years ago, a plane crash on a scale the world had never seen in a Welsh village.

The aircraft had been packed full of jubilant rugby fans on their way home from seeing Wales beat Ireland on 12 March 1950.

But just short of its final destination at Llandow Airfield in the Vale of Glamorgan, the plane crashed - killing 80 of the 83 people on board. It was, at the time, the world's worst air disaster.
