On the 18th June 2025 the Air Cabin Crew Fund, in collaboration with British Airways, organised a Service of Remembrance, wreath laying and the unveiling of the newly installed 'Papa India Memorial Plaque' in the garden of the Multi Faith Chapel of St George at London's Heathrow Airport.

 

The plaque, funded by British Airways, lists the names of all the 118 souls who lost their lives in the tragedy, near Heathrow, on 18th June 1972, 35 years previously.  The inscription above the names reads:-
