Aircraft accidents off the Yorkshire Coast.

This section is very much a work in progress section and its limit still needs setting; whether aircraft crashing many miles of the Yorkshire Coast are actually deemed "Yorkshire" related needs to be determined. I have tried to include any incident in which land-based search parties were called out on searches for aircraft or men. The area covered is the North Sea (but only off the Yorkshire Coast) and in the River Humber (but not including ones known to be towards the south/Lincolnshire bank). As many of these aircraft are still listed as "missing" recording where they came down is difficult but I hope that each write-up will do their crews justice. Many of the links below I have yet to create the associated web-page. As the reader will see the locations given here relate pretty much to distances from Flamborough Head and Spurn Head. Other locations given as "North Sea?" refer to aircraft which simply went missing and it was assumed as nothing was ever found that they crashed into the sea. There was a huge number of airmen who were simply never found as a result of these incidents and it is hoped that this is one place where their names will be remembered. There were probably a number of other German losses in this area but many are not well documented, whilst I could simply copy all Bill Norman's "Broken Eagles" book I have not and would guide anyone with an interest in these losses to this book. Information on a number of the incidents covered on this website still very sketchy and is any reader can add further details I would like to hear from you.
