aircraft detailed on this date crashing into it.
Pilot - Name unknown.
Curtiss JN4 3440 was built by Curtiss in Toronto and shipped to the UK, on arrival it was delivered to
AAP Hendon on 25th April 1916, fitted with dual controls, tested and accepted on 1st May 1916 and
immediately flown to RNAS Flying School Chingford the same day. It was transferred to RNAS Redcar on
8th September 1916. It was damaged in a ground accident in December 1916 and sent to Blackburn's in Leeds
for repair (possibly flown to Leeds suggesting damage was minor). It returned to Redcar on 26th December 1916.
The aircraft later suffered this second accident on 6th July 1917 and was deleted as deemed beyond economic
repair on 8th September 1917.
