A man who lost his arm in a childhood accident nearly 50 years ago is on a mission to track down and thank those who saved his life.
Darren Peel and his family had been on a trip to Southport in July 1975 when they decided to take a trip on a plane to see the resort from the air.
He had been holding the pilot’s hand when he suddenly ran off to the front of the idle aircraft and into its propeller, which instantly severed his arm.
