Linda Kitchen, 74, from Thornbury near Bristol, has initiated legal action against Singapore Airlines following a flight that resulted in the death of her husband, Geoff, 73. The couple was embarking on a six-week holiday to Singapore, Indonesia, and Australia when the aircraft encountered severe turbulence.
