Yorkshire Air Casualties - 1920 to 1929.

Below is believed to be a complete list of all air fatalities in Yorkshire between 1920 and 1929. There has never been a list of flying accidents made for the whole Yorkshire region and I doubt that I have listed them all despite my best efforts. I would welcome information or basic details to begin to research the incident myself.


5th May 1925 - Blackburn Kangaroo G-EAIT - Brough.

Pilot - F/O Hugh Crichton McDonald RAFO, aged 26. Buried Wilton Cemetery, Carluke.
