On 8th July 1918 this aircraft suffered an engine failure and was force-landed 3.5 miles South West of Robin Hoods Bay,
the aircraft was undamaged and the pilot uninjured. Given the known distance this landing probably occured on moorland and this
would seem remarkable that no damage was sustained. The creator of this webpage suggests that either some slight damage was sustained
or the distance from Robin Hoods Bay is not correct.
Pilot - Name unknown.
DH6 B3091 was built by Airco for the RFC and served with them (there are no details of its service), it was transferred to
the RAF on 1st April 1918 and transferred to M.A.D. Killingholme for 256 Squadron on 25th May 1918. It moved to SD Flt 251 Squadron at Atwick
on 30th June 1918. Following the incident detailed above no further record of it exists, it must be presumed it saw no further service
after the incident either being repaired and flown out or dismantled and removed by road, the latter being most probable.
