RAF Lincoln crash near Leconfield, Yorks, 25 November 1951
I have just received an airmail copy of my old school magazine called The Old Juddian. That was from Judd School in Tonbridge, Kent. I was interested to read of the experience of one of the chaps in my class who was badly injured during the crash of a Lincoln on 27 November 1951 near Beverley, Yorkshire. It was apparently attempting to land at RAF Station Leconfield, East Yorkshire.
A newspaper photo showed the aircraft on its belly with the wreckage against the Scarborough to Hull train line. 15 people were aboard the Lincoln and two were killed.
Can anyone provide more details on what caused the accident, please. I have more than a passing interest as I flew RAAF Lincolns at Townsville, Australia
