The wreckage of the "Elizabethan" class Airspeed Ambassador (registration G-ALZU) charter flight which was carrying the Manchester United team back from Belgrade. After a refuelling stoppage at Munich, the plane crashed as it tried to take off on the snowy runway, killing 23 people, including eight players, one of whom was Duncan Edwards whom many believe was among the greatest football players of all time. He died of injuries 15 days after the crash.
