Ladies & gents,

After some long hard searching, I managed to find an article in a newspaper from 08/July/1972,
It would appear that this AAC Sioux crashed on an un-named farm nr. Langholm, Dumfrieshire & not Otterburn.
663 Sqn AAC
2nd Lt Paul Hannant

regards

Thanks David,
That was from the DH4/9 file.
Hepple is in Northumberland not Northants.

This is the 2nd aircraft I have researched which is recorded as Northants…..the joys of typo’s

Well, I am back.
My D.H.4/D.H.9 file arrived from Air Britain.

It would appear G-EAEW had nothing to do with Northumberland or Newcastle.

I did find another D.H.4 serial no. F5783 which crashed on approach to Newcastle, plenty in the local papers.

The one that matches mine is A D.H.9A “E77” (no serial no.) can anyone advise as to what “E77” is.

Must admit I agree with Bob,
Had the volume up so loud the windows rattled, and still missed most of the tosh the main character was mumbling.
I was looking forward to this show, but it is relegated to ‘I might watch on catch up, but not bothered if I miss it’.

For the G-EAEW Registration,
ASN have that there was 1 fatality?

I will contact the owner of the photo to see if there are any family rumours

Then I am at a loss,
I have no other DH4 for Northumberland.
Location may be recorded as Morpeth/Rothbury

Would the tail markings
suggest military or civilian.

I have a vague mention of a DH G-EAEW 4 02/10/19 nr. Newcastle (Aircraft Transport and Travel) possible but I have no details

If it is a Sopwith Triplane,
it would appear (according to the ‘tinternet’) that the aircraft was mainly for RNAS with around 150 being built.

This may or may not help

The DH 4 does look to be the more similar tail.
Anyone got a copy of the AB DH 4 / DH 9 book, it is one of the handful I do not have.
