Unidentified aeroplane force landed near Leven.
On 16th June 1937 an RAF aeroplane flying between North Coates Fitties and Driffield aerodromes suffered engine trouble over the East Riding of Yorkshire. The pilot opted to make a forced landing in a field belonging to a Mr Taylor near Leven sustaining no damage. A faulty valve spring appears to have been the problem with the engine that caused it to mis-fire. The aeroplane was described in the Hull Daily Mail as being an "Amphibian" type aeroplane.
Pilot - Name unknown.
On the same day a hull lady, Ada Chapman, was carrying a baby along Lister Street in Hull when she tripped whilst looking up at a passing aeroplane. She was also carrying a glass bottle holding vinegar which broke and cut her left arm. Huge public interest at the time to be recorded in the local newspaper!
