On 9th of July 1959 while on a training flight a Canberra T 4 (WT487) of 17 Sqn RAF Wildenrath was involved in a mid-air-collision (touch) with a GAF F-84 F Thunderstreak of 31 JABO-Staffel Noervenich. The accident in which the Canberra suffered a damaged rudder as the result of being hit by the extra fuel tank of the F.84 F, happened over Kevelaer, Germany, near to RAF Laarbruch. The damaged fuel tank became dislodged and crashed onto Kapellenplatz, fortunately missing people and buildings. Both aircraft were able to return to their airfields landing safely but damaged. The crew of both aircraft were unharmed but a little shaken.
Pilot of the 17 Sqn Canberra was Fg Off Lees, navigator Flt Lt Alan Potter, also on board for an Instrument Rating Test Flt Lt Webster

The last aerial is very interesting as the wings of the Laarbruch Museum Canberra are still to be seen.
Today our engineers are working on the wings. Next week they are expected at Laarbruch.

I found this photo of Spitfire QV-B leading a Phantom in one of our photo boxes (RoyalAir Force Museum Laarbruch). But don’t have any further information.
One guess: It was taken at RAF Wildenrath, Air Show 15 June 1969

I changed the list accordingly.
And I could find some more photos in TRGC – Facebook group.

The first display in Germany was at RAF Laarbruch on 6 August 1965. On the following day, 7 August, there was an official display at RAF Geilenkirchen. Since then the Red Arrows have performed in Germany 170 times.

More on Laarbruch/Geschichte

Searching old newspapers I found an article about a glider crash.
A glider from Laarbruch crashed near a house at Weeze on Sunday, August 16, 1987 around 3 p.m. The female pilot (29) was killed in the crash.
She had started from RAF Laarbruch. So perhaps she belonged to Two Rivers Gliding Club” The article stated she was English, an experienced pilot who had flown gliders for years.

Sorry, the articles are from a German newspaper.
I’m still trying to find more information in the Laarbruch Listener magazine.

Does anyone recall this fatal accident?
