Two unidentified Airco DH.6 at Catterick aerodrome.
A photograph exists of what is claimed to be two 52 Squadron Airco DH.6's crashed June 1918 at Catterick and the result of a collision. It is claimed to have been the result of a midair collision but I doubt this. The photographs shows both aeroplanes reasonably badly damaged and inverted and if is was the result of a midair collision some injuries must have resulted but neither pilots would appear to have received them. The pilot are named however the one I have identified never served with 52 Squadron but was with No.46 Training Squadron at Catterick.
Pilot - Lt Robinson RAF.
Pilot - Lt George Cameron Gage RAF.
George Gage was born on 31st October 1896 at Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. He was granted a commission in the Royal Flying Corps on 30th March 1918 and was posted to 46 Training Squadron on 18th May 1918. (He never served with 52 or 127 Squadron). When No.46 Training Squadron folded it became No.49 Training Depot Station and on paper he went to them on 13th September 1918. He transferred to the Unemployed list on 24th April 1919 and returned to Canada. He died in April 1974 in Hamilton.
