ive found the info on the crashed german aircraft at patrington info as follows
A Junkers Ju88 ordered to attack RAF Thornaby and was shot down by a Hurricane. It crashed at Patrington, near Hull at 7.30pm. One of the crewman was killed, one was injured but he died of his wounds two days later, and two were captured unhurt. amazing what you can find if you dig about

Hurrifan, despite the ‘Peak District’ title of the web sites in my post, there are some useful items regarding Yorkshire crash sites on both of the web pages.

landraver – this one’s normally a good start: http://www.peakdistrictaircrashes.co.uk/homepage.htm
Their links page (http://www.peakdistrictaircrashes.co.uk/alanslinks.htm) is good too and they’re a helpful bunch.
Other on here will be able to give you more details as they may well be involved in aviation archaeology. I haven’t trudged around high ground wreck sites in years!
Chris
PS – I hope Junkers Ju82 is a typo!
