Search for family of East Yorkshire WWII RAF pilot
A water company is searching for the family of a World War II RAF pilot who died when his aircraft crashed in 1942.
Yorkshire Water is hoping to get in touch with any relatives of Flt Sgt Angus McBean who was killed in the accident at Hempholme, East Yorkshire.
He died aged 25, when his Bristol Blenheim MK1 twin-engined aircraft crashed while on a night-time training flight.
