Coming back to WWII, I was looking at a very informative website yesterday. It records all the fatal air accidents in Yorkshire including during (and post) WWIi.
The 4th of March 1945, was the date of the last German aircraft to crash in Britain.
It was Junkers 88. Having abandoned intruder attacks in 1941, the Germans revived them briefly in 1945.
Wikipedia instructs that on that day the Germans followed back Halifax and Lancaster bombers after a raid on a synthetic fuel site in Kamen, Germany. Over the skies of Britain the Luftwaffe accounted for 13 Halifax and 12 Lancaster Bombers.
This link provides the full story of the Junkers 88 which crashed near York that day killing the crew and civilians on the ground.

These links provide the accounts of just two of several downed RAF bombers over Yorkshire when returning from the Kamen bombing raid. There are others on the website.
