Every incident in Yorkshire (work in progress)


Flying Accidents in Yorkshire: The Early Years - 1801 to 1850.

This list gives all the known flying related mishaps and accidents between the years 1801 and 1850. I would welcome any additions to this list. I am drawing the majority of my information from the British Newspaper Archive website. As far as I am aware this is the first instance in which many of these incidents have been recorded in the modern era. Once published I expect the same people will copy the text to their own websites with no credit as happened with my other webpages.
