I’ll never forget the horror of that Concorde crash, though. We were on holiday in Greece at the time and I was even more scared than usual at the thought of flying home. I was a Michael Foot supporter back in the day ( I treasure a letter I received from him) but it did shape my political thinking in that I realised I should have supported Healey. Then again I did support Ed over David, yet another catastrophic misjudgement.
