Sorry but the deaths of Captain Eustace Loraine and Staff Sergeant Richard Wilson occurred on 5th July 1912 over Salisbury Plain. They were the first deaths of the newly formed RFC.

Their crash site was marked by a memorial at Airmen's Corner near to Stonehenge until the memorial was moved to make way for the Stonehenge visitors centre and re-routed road.
