Blimey Jack you have been busy! Where did you get the fighter crash info from?

 

 

The list is a copy and paste( complete with my typos)from my Dorset Airfields Website/Dorset Crashes page .(It may be downloaded as a text file if you wish)

 

http://daveg4otu.tripod.com/dorset/dorcrash.html

 

I also have a Hampshire Crashes list (very large - this one also can be downloaded as a text file)...

 

http://daveg4otu.tripod.com/hancrash.html

 

and an Isle of Wight crashes list...

 

http://daveg4otu.tripod.com/iowweb/iowc.html

 

 

Does such a list exist for Lincolnshire?

 

No idea - but if there is I haven't seen it - it would almost certainly be very large.

 

 

Dave

We are closing in on the location of this one:

18-6-45 KH694 Mustang Wing fell off,cr Portland Bay

Portland Bay does not - to my knowledge - exist but Portland Harbour does and witness statements have helped ID the likely area to search. Wing falling off was not primary cause of crash, and this was not the first aircraft of the type to suffer same loss of control. A flight limit notice triggered by first crash was not communicated to RCAF squadron from which KH694 was operating - the pilot simply didn't know.

A absolutely tragedy as its believed the flight was the last before returning home to marry a local girl.

Regrettably we have been unable to trace any living relatives of the pilot with both parents and only brother (childless) deceased.

Full story to be published soon I hope.
