Yorkshire Air Casualties - 1960 to 1969.
Below is believed to be a complete list of all air fatalities between 1960 and 1969 and links to the incident in which the casualties sadly lost their lives. 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. It is also worth saying that these most serious incidents in the 1960s are well within living memory. My few lines to many of these incidents clearly need to be more detailed but I also need to start somewhere. I will update and expand each webpage when I obtain more information.
