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

So, why did such a successful business end up 'toast'?

They are joined by:

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

Produced by Jon Douglas. Toast is a Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Audio North production for Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Radio 4 and Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Sounds.
