I can add to that lot, a stearman that spun into the nearby Cemetry
When was that? Must have been before my time at Barton (1978 onwards).
Tomahawk that recently crashed and is the subject of a £1m lawsuit.
Who is sueing whom?
I can remember the Auster (1959) being carried by aloft by several people, Barton has indeed had its far share of tragedies.
Carried aloft by several people? What actually happened?
Don't forget the fatal Rallye banner towing pick up tragedy. Or the double-fatality spin in by a visiting aircraft turning left base for 09. Or the other double fatality Rallye that took off on 2.0 very early one morning before the airport opened, and crashed on the banks of the Ship Canal. And of course the Midget Mustang that barrel-rolled into the ground at one of the airshows.
No dooubt there are more, but those are the ones I can think of that have happened since 1978. Not to mention ones where an aircraft on a local flight crashed away from the field, such as the Tripacer that took a Barton pilot, his girlfiend, and her mother to thier deaths when it crashed into Winter Hill in dodgy wx. Or the Baby Great Lakes that fatally spun in near Chorley about 1980.
