Blackburn RT.1 Kangaroo G-EBOM "Pip" at Brough.

I know little about this incident. This Kangaroo appears to have been badly damaged in some form of flying accident at Brough aerodrome on 25th September 1928. The aeroplane was owned by North Sea Aerial and General Transport Co. Ltd. who had their flying facilities at Brough. This aeroplane was a dual-control aeroplane and used for pilot refresher training, the company were contracted by the RAF to carry out this form of training. It took some time for the paperwork to catch up that the damage was terminal. It was recorded as being destroyed on in January 1929.

Pilot - Name unknown.


British Aerospace's online history page for the aeroplane type states that this aeroplane was damaged in a crash on 29th May 1928 not 29th September 1928. Wonder where their information came from? I would welcome additional information around this flying accident.
