Evening Mail
I remember the Sunday when the trident crashed at Staines June 18th 1972 near the Croocked Billit, I was still at school (Mathew Arnold). Iworked as a paper boy for the evening mail selling the news to drivers in their cars at the traffic lights, the Mail managed to get us off school on the Monday and we sold papers all day at Heathrow, my commision that day was as much as I normally made for the whole month.

Blimey, I remember that crash as well, my mum was working at B E A at London Airport. We lived at Townson Avenue, Northolt Grange, just off Kingshill Avenue.
