The 20th November 2025 will be the 50th anniversary of the Dunsfold air crash. We, the families of those who died, are holding a memorial to celebrate the lives of our beloved siblings, and Chris and Nick’s beloved mother. You are invited to remember and celebrate the lives of Catherine Leakey, Jane Onslow, Kathryn Tucker, Jenty Whittington, Julia Whittington and Lisa Whittington.
The service will be at St Peter ad Vincula, Wisborough Green at 2.30pm on Saturday 15th November, with refreshments in Wisborough Green Village Hall afterwards.
After so many years, we do not have contact details for anything like the number of people we think might wish to join us. We are working especially hard on identifying all friends of Jenty and of Julia, Lisa, Jane, Catherine and Kathryn, from school (Arundale, St Catherine’s) and anywhere else.
Please pass on this invitation to those you think might wish to come. When you do, please copy in Sarah Harrison (Onslow) at sarah.m.harrison@hotmail.com.
And then – over the next month we will very much welcome emailed memories, photographs (even cine film, if now digitised), letters (e.g. in reply to letters of condolence) and anything else that will bring those who died to life again in all our minds.
Finally, be assured that we plan an event of joyful remembrance, and hope for the future. We want to celebrate the lives of those taken from us too soon.
Sarah Harrison
