It's The Only Way To Go

This is the time of year when the travel agents want you to think ahead to jetting away from it all next summer. Some of us do think about it, but with dread. What makes so many people afraid of flying? (and psychiatrists claim that anyone who says they're not afraid is either a fool or a liar). The answer seems obvious-crashes like last year's BEA Trident disaster killing 118 people are enough to put anyone off flying. And yet it's not as simple as that. There are more people killed in one week on Britain's roads than in any major air disaster, but that doesn'stop most of us travelling by car. JAMES BURKE , himself a nervous man when flying, travels with a holiday group from Luton to Nicosia and tries to find out what worries them most and how they, and he, can be helped. Producer KARL SABBAGH
