Aircraft accidents in Ryedale during 1945.

All incidents, whether they be on airfields, close to airfields or on land away from airfields are included in this list. Operational bomber losses because rarer as the War was almost won and Wombleton's training roll was gradually wound down. The Ryedale area I have used to include these incidents is defined by the main A64 road, the A19 road and the A170 road, technically some are in Hambleton.
