Hello,
Can anyone recall either a crash or collision near or over Paris France in the 1960-1990 timeframe ?
I seem to remember that was at the same time that Air traffic controllers were in dispute or on strike?
Many thanks for any leads.

This link shows all aircraft crashes in France, just pick out these which occurred near to Paris
In 1960, there was a collision between a Stampe and a Caravelle (Air Algerie?) over Paris. The Stampe was lost, but the Caravelle recovered.
In the early 70s a collision occurred over Nantes I think between a Spantax Coronado and an Iberia DC-9. The Coronado recovered into An Air Force base (Cognac?) with a chunk of outer wing missing. The DC-9 alas, was lost.
The latter was I’m pretty sure due to one of the aircraft entering a hold as a result of an ATC strike or go-slow at the time.
Bound to be on the ASN list.
Ndege.

Hello Mr Creosote,
Thank you for the lead for the 1974 crash, but sorry to have to say it is not the one I seek, the passenger’s name I seek is not in the list.
Many thanks for your help though
