Blackburn B.2 G-ACLD at Catterick aerodrome.

Details surround this incident at very vague, stated by others to have occurred at Catterick on 10th May 1935 Blackburn B.2 G-ACLD taxied into 32 Squadron Bulldog K1631 which was parked and having its engine run-up. G-ACLD was probably being used by No.4 Elementary and Reserve Flying Training School, based at Brough and 32 Squadron were not based at Catterick. Why both aircraft were at Catterick in the first place is therefore unclear. The B.2 was repaired and was later destroyed in a crash at York in June 1951.

Pilot - Name unknown.
