On 8th July 1918 this aeroplane suffered an engine failure and was force-landed 3.5 miles South West of Robin Hoods Bay, the aeroplane was undamaged and the pilot uninjured. Given the known distance this landing probably occurred on moorland and this would seem remarkable that no damage was sustained. I would suggest that either some slight damage was sustained or the distance from Robin Hoods Bay is not correct. The aeroplane was part of the Special Duties Flight, 251 Squadron and was based at Atwick.
Pilot - Name unknown.
Airco DH.6 B3091 was built by Airco for the RFC and served with them (there are no details of its service), it was transferred to the RAF on 1st April 1918 and transferred to M.A.D. Killingholme for 256 Squadron on 25th May 1918. It moved to the Special Duties Flight, 251 Squadron at Atwick on 30th June 1918. Following the incident near Robin Hoods Bay on 8th July 1918 no further record of it exists, it must be presumed it saw no further service after the incident either being repaired and flown out or dismantled and removed by road, the latter being most probable.
