A plane crash which cost the lives of 15 Maltese servicemen was recalled today with Mass followed by wreath-laying at Pembroke Military Cemetery. Two British servicemen also died when a transport aircraft broke in half and burst into flames as it was taking off from the El Adem in Libya on a flight to Malta on October 10, 1961. 22 soldiers survived, although several were badly injured. The Maltese soldiers were serving in the British army and were returning to Malta after having been involved in the building of a road with the Royal Engineers.
