Great video 👍
im from east wemyss and if the people that make this video go to schools in fife id like to say it's one of the primary 7 my initials are m.w.
My parents were neighbours and friends with the Bruce's. I was 3 years old when the tragedy occurred and have no recollection of it however I got to know Margaret, his wife, over the subsequent years and have fond memories of her (she was a diamond).
I went to John Thomson's grave earlier today. He will never be forgotten. This video is an excellent tribute to him.
I have completely forgotten about this plane crash. Maybe because I am 90 years old. I was working in Ayr at the time. Greetings from New Zealand
Fantastic story ✅
Don't suppose you know where I could pick up a copy of the book you mention?
You could ditch the annoying music!🤮
madness!
I was 6mths old, living at Glenburn, Prestwick close to where this disaster occurred. 💔💔
5:21 No matter how sad the day was for captain Stewart, trust me when I say that for the burned alive victims it was much, much worse.
Alexander Smith is the GG grandfather of my husband. Do you have an email address for your channel where I can contact you for more on the bo
One in a million he will always be Renner halal God bless John Thompson hon but not forgotten
Good stuff except for the over-loud and unnecessary music.
Now RNLI Arbroath is reduced to a wee inflatable and no more launches down the ramp. An absolute disgrace for the RNLI. So I won't be leaving any money to them.
We football fans are frequently so quick to chant our hatred against our opponents but tragedies like this can bring us together all to briefly. My Grandfather was there that day and he had a tear in his eye as he spoke about it. A sad loss from a time when we bred them tough.
Runway 71 ? Runways are numbered using compass degree headings therefore 71 cannot be possible because a compass only has 360 degrees.
They didn't say 71. They said 31.
@@jimsmith556yes, 31. Must be that Scottish accent which often times is confusing to non-Scottish listeners. Thank you for clearing that up.
Nicely done. My great grandfather Alexander Smith was one of the poor guys who were inundated first. It was nice to see the area of the collapse as it is now. Thank you for making this!
A giant of a man, yet, only a very gifted boy, one who had the whole world firmly clasped in his hands, however, two players died on the field of play that fateful day, the price they each paid to entertain the Glaswegian masses, was a price too high. RIP both.
I know alot of you won't believe me but my mums friends step dad was the only passenger who survived the incident
When sectarianism and bigotry takes a back seat.
I'm a Rangers fan, I love my team but I watched this with tears in my eyes because I'm a human being and I know what it's like to lose friends and family long before their time.
Some off the rangers fans were booing when John thomson was being carried off Sam English from ulster that makes it sound sectarian
As an American I believe the Scottish Accent should be declared a different language from English.
A very sad tale of a very young man who died too soon. John Thomson Rest in Peace.
The peakocks wear beautiful family. I lived in biggar. I got married and my son was born in biggar. I was married to David McCone.

I lived in biggar. got married and my son . I knew som of the peakocks a beautiful family. I was married to David McCone. I am so sorry about this story.
Callum here..... Linda Peacock was my aunt. I was just short of 9 when she was murdered. At 15, Linda was more of an older sister to me rather than my Mother's sister. I remember Linda so well. She was a beautiful, fun loving and wonderful young person. Please be assured, that despite the fact that this horrible crime was committed over half a century ago, Linda is still remembered fondly by all her remaining family. I was at her grave very recently where she lies to rest beside her older sister Jean and her father, George. Our Papa. Family members visit her regularly. Gordon Hay may have taken Linda from our world - but he has not broken the bonds of family love. Linda is as important to us today as she always was....Linda may have become part of a 'Forgotten Scotland' RUclips stream..... But, she is not forgotten by her family.... Not in the slightest.
Lovely to hear that Linda and not the horrific crime is what her family fondly remembers 🥰
I am a distant relative of Linda. My Grandad was Tom Peacock, her uncle. He died 5 years before I arrived, so don't know much about that side of the family
Thanks for making this beautiful tribute.
As a Rangers man I have no idea why I watched this but I'm so glad I did, even after almost a century one can still feel the complete heartache and tragedy. I miss the respect that existed in the old days and this beautifully presented film shows that respect RIP John and Sam.
Good words mate. Hope you are well and have a great new year. Pulls on your heart string this video. Rip to the the two players.
Sam English never played football again. RIP BOTH .
@@Carolinel673 - Actually Sam English played for Liverpool, Queen of the South and Hartlepool United after he left Rangers. He was certainly a haunted man and was never the same again though. John Thomson's death and the aftermath for English was certainly one of the most tragic incidents in the history of Scottish football. RIP both.
Superb comment, never a truer word uttered. Bravo!
Two casualties in this, both Thomson and English lost their lives in this. RIP to both of them.
Wonderful film👏👏👏🥲💚
This os excellent have been arguing for years with people about who was scotlands first world champion very few people heard of Johnny hill .i believe Johnny hill should have more recognition a true Scottish hero . REST IN PEACE JOHNNY HILL .
There were indeed two victims on that fateful day. You can see from the film that it was a total and tragic accident. John’s bravery cost him his life. Sam English’s immediate reaction, though injured himself, shows how concerned he was. Rest in peace, both of them. 💚🇮🇪💚
Willie maley wasn't convinced it was a accident the celtic manager but he didn't say it maybe Sam English went in to hard on thomson
fuck up man, even if he went in to hurt him he clearly never wanted to kill him
It was a man’s game then, goalkeepers were always in the firing line, the tackles were vicious back then
And it was an accident…..
John Thomson dived at him when the ball was there to be won. The collision was an accident.
Just tragic. Very emotional.
As a then crew member in the 80s I met Archie Smith on a visit from Canada. I was standing in for the mechanic who was on holiday. I had a visit from a couple of divers who had recovered the ships bell from the wreck of the "Isla Magee" (?). They wanted to present the bell to the lifeboat station. I phoned the coxswain to get his opinion but it was decided it couldn't be in the boat house. I suggested that the bell go to the Signal Tower museum, nearby. Instead they took it away with them.
My great great cousin 😊 was brought up on stories of him by my gran when I grew up 🍀☘️🏴☘️🍀
One of the greats ☘️
So so sad for all 😢
I was a 15 year old Edinburgh Schoolboy at the time. I remember it well. The other incident referenced happened in Germany in 1936. An excellent telling of that story was done a few months ago by the YT Channel 'Real Horror' entitled 'Hike That Killed Five Schoolboys'. I actually enjoy the music.
Very sad story , thanks for posting alway great to get any forgotten history.
The paddle steamer photo was a good one. 👍
Commercial pilot here. Don’t know if those chaps were instrument-rated (and aircraft correspondingly equipped) but assuming so the first thing to do when lost is climb, and then “confess.” Alas , way too many pilots (to the present time) elect to scud-run and end up perishing.
The ocean is mighty and deserves deference.
How sad, even more so being Christmas Day. I never knew of this incident.
I love this music, what is it?
My father played for Celtic from 1926 to 1930 ...He told me Johnny Thompson was the greatest goalkeeper he ever saw. My mother also mentioned that they both shared a taxi with him so many years ago....( Attending a Celtic function...may have been a Celtic dance ).said he just a very nice, quiet young man.. quiet shy. So sad reading about him now... even after so many years.
Just got on this site today your father played with my uncle john McFarlane Nick named (Jean) I live in Niagara Falls but watch every game on streams. Don’t know if you come from Fife probably Glasgow what did you think of the Kelly family letting the club almost go broke saved on the last day HH
My great great step-uncle shared a cab your mother wow my great great grandmother was married to his brother Jim Thomson later in life its nice to read these comments about him
Very nice posts. Thank you.
Very sad story .
When I and my friends were kids we always looked forward to trips... so sad that this ended so tragically for the young people and their families.
I don’t mind the music and I really enjoyed the video. In my life I’ve been certified scuba diver and a private pilot with over 500 hours logged. In my career I was a journeyman lineman working voltages up to sixteen thousand volts a/c and I’ve seen what overconfidence and pressure to go ahead despite better judgment became of overconfidence. Thank you for your videos I hope your cautionary tales will in courage people to think twice before putting others lives in danger.
Tragic but a very well presented video,thank you.
Please ditch the music.
Music adds nothing to the story. This has been often a reason for me to end a video right at he start .
