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'?
The BBC Business journalist, Sean Farrington, and the entrepreneur, Sam White look into it.
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 BBC Audio North production for BBC Radio 4 and BBC Sounds.
