    Hi,

    This may be of no connection, but around 5 years ago, I interviewed a chap at Belford (North Northumberland), he could clearly remeber a type of ‘flying boat’ had came down at Belford.
    I have so far been unable to prove his tale right or wrong.

    Regards

    Rob,

    Forgive my ignorance,
    You note that the crew were L/C M W Henley and S/Aldrich A L Brown RCAF. – what is L/C & S/Aldrich?

    Dave & Rob,

    You note that the crew were L/C M W Henley and S/Aldrich A L Brown RCAF. – is that 2 or 3 crew?

    Longhorsley is is approximately 7 miles from RAF Acklington.
    The date you have will be correct as the article was published 2 days after the crash (a weekly newspaper)

    Anyone got the ORB

    Thank you once again.

    The aircraft was a Navy aircraft.

    Friday 14th March 1958
    Boulton Paul Balliol two-seater trainer.
    From RAF Old Sarum, Salisbury.

    Could anyone provide any further details please, Sqn, crew, RAF Old Sarum Station ORB etc.

    Regards in advance

    Hi David,

    I was presenting a talk at the said history society, that’s where the story came from.

    I have an appointment at the local newspaper archives next week

    It appears that it may not be a Navy aircraft after all, but civil!
    However, the other details remain the same……any ideas?

    Dan,

    I have to admit, for ‘adults’ the movie is terrible, but as you have clearly pointed out it fits perfectly with the ‘junior’s section’ of the movie world. And if that gets the youngsters interested and continuing to unravel history for the future……perfect.

    I’m sorry to hear this news, sincere condolences to all his family and friends. A battle well fought by the sound of things, in the spirit of those he wrote about.

    I had worked with Robert on several crash sites in Northumberland and had helped solve various locations of sites.
    It is sad news to hear of his passing, he will be missed, an influential source for aviation history.

    An inspiration to all

    I was passed the photographs and I said I would ask the questions.

    Thank you
