| 0:08.2 | Hi, it's Helen here. Over the festive period, we are revisiting some of our favourite episodes |
| 0:13.7 | of the year. And today, we want to bring you the moving and inspiring story of Khalil Ulla, |
| 0:19.5 | whose brother, Mohamed Ayyaz, fell from a plane in London |
| 0:22.3 | 23 years ago. Earlier this year, he and Guardian journalist Esther Adley went to the spot |
| 0:28.5 | where his brother fell in the car park of a DIY store. Despite the tragedy at the heart of |

| 1:58.2 | and at the point where the aircraft lower their wheels at Richmond, |
| 2:01.8 | as the approach he threw from the east, he'd fallen out, and this is where he'd landed. |
