This website contains information regarding the many aircraft accidents in Yorkshire, England and air-personnel losses within the county. My research is not just limited to where the various aircraft have crashed as was the case with this research in the past; but also to who was on board them. In many cases these airmen lost their lives and their stories have remained as pretty much the untold story. I hope that this website will let their sacrifice live on and in some way keep their memory alive. I have been researching these incidents for a number of years now and I hope that all my facts displayed on this website are correct, if any reader wishes to correct or expand any of the details shown please email me. If anyone recalls any of the incidents on this website or others I may have accidentally left out I would love to hear your memories. I would also like to express my thanks to the families of some of these airmen for contacting me, without the information and photographs they have been able to provide these pages would not be as complete. It began life as "www.allenby.info" but due to my web-hosting service changing I've decided to re-launch it under this name. Thank you.

The North Yorkshire Moors is my main research area and these incidents have shown my main focus of research over the past eight years. In the long term I may write some form of book on these incidents.

All images on this website remain under copyright of their owners and may not be copied from this website to make financial gain, or for use in any book / printed format without prior permission of the website owner, Richard Allenby, first. Copyright of all photographs of airmen shown on this website remain with the families of these airmen who have kindly contacted me. Please respect the families of airmen, they have been willing to donate these photos for inclusion in this website, for the same photo to appear elsewhere may cause un-necessary alarm. Please email me if you wish to use any images on this website by clicking the EMAIL link.

Whilst not all incidents detailed on this website were aircraft and crews of Bomber Command, many were and whilst there is no proper memorial to Bomber Command personnel this web-page is dedicated to their sacrifice. Yorkshire was probably second only to Lincolnshire in terms of airfields and airmen passing through. Around 125,000 personnel of all nationalities served in Bomber Command through-out the War with the huge number of 55,500 being killed. In terms of losses in the UK; 8,195 were killed in flying accidents or ground accidents and 47,268 were killed in action or died as a PoW. Their loss has never been officially recognized.

These pages are also in regcognition of the work and research done by 158 Squadron Association Chairman and squadron historian Mr Eddie Fell. Eddie's research crossed over with my Yorkshire research and he kindly shared some of his very detailed research which is displayed on a number of these webpages. He sadly died in October 2009 after a long illness and it is a pleasure to ensure that some of his work is able to live on.
