Dan-Air was one of Britain's biggest airlines and helped to make package holidays possible. So, why did it end up toast? Sean Farrington investigates.

Dan-Air was one of Britain's biggest airlines and took millions of people on their first package holidays.

They are joined by:

-Graham Simons - Dan-Air historian and author of the book 'The Spirit of Dan-Air'

-Jackie Stacey & James Hoffmeister - former Dan-Air cabin crew

Produced by Jon Douglas. Toast is a 大象传媒 Audio North production for 大象传媒 Radio 4 and 大象传媒 Sounds.
