Yorkshire Air Casualties - 1980 to 1989.
Below is believed to be a complete list of all air fatalities between 1980 and 1989 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 1980s 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 also intend on recording every known flying accident across the whole of Yorkshire for their historical context, whilst some people may think these modern incidents are not historically interesting I would say that in time they will become history. Recording them whilst people remember them should enable a far more accurate and detailed account to be made on each webpage. I will update and expand each webpage when I obtain more information.
