Harriet was waving her sisters off when their plane left the runway and burst into flames Now she's finding others linked to the tragedy
By the time the programme was broadcast, just over two weeks later, Harriet and Graham had exchanged numerous emails, comparing notes about Ethiopia where Harriet's father had worked on a soil conservation programme, and Graham's for the International Labour Organization, as well as every detail they each remembered about the accident.
"There was a lot of sadness," Harriet says, "but also a lot of happy memories and laughter. Mainly it was this fascinating exploration." "I'm gradually digging out all these precious things and it helps me put together a timeline of what was happening," he says. "Being an engineer, I like to have everything in order."
Since her radio programme was broadcast, Harriet has been contacted by more than 200 people from around the world. "Thank you for a lovely holiday... I'll think of you all the time, so don't worry too much. Bye bye," says Caroline. Some said they'd never really confronted their feelings about what happened that awful day until hearing Harriet's searing account on the radio, almost half a century later."Each of these is a living link with my sisters," she says.
