Alan Atkinson tragically lost his wife and kids in a car crash while the family was on a dream holiday to Florida in 1981.
A man whose wife and three children died in a horror car crash during their dream holiday in Florida has spoken of his agony for the first time.
Retired RAF pilot Alan, now 80, said: "My family had everything to look forward to but it was taken away in a heartbeat. All I ever aspired to be was a father. I married my beautiful wife in 1966 and we had three lovely children. Everything was fantastic.The impact of the crash sent the family's vehicle careering into the deep waters of a nearby wetland canal and Alan was the only one who made it out alive.
Alan eventually returned to his career and began piloting the famous Concorde, but the grieving husband and father struggled to find peace in the aftermath of his trauma. Alan later moved to West Sussex and began working on a book about his ordeal five years after his new partner Liz came across old files of the case at their home.
"I was engaged twice after losing my wife and I was about to get re-married once, but I just couldn't do it.
