So sad to hear of the accident involving an F-15C Eagle on Monday morning.

Coincidentally, off Flamborough Head, Yorkshire – the same area of my uncles air accident. ✈️

Hi guys,

Following your advice I contacted Tracey at Air Accidents Investigation Branch, but she could find no reports on this accident. Following Tracey’s advice I contacted the Defence Air Accident Investigation Branch – their admin officer Mr Sean Mills DSA-DAIB-AIR-OffMgr@mod.gov.uk but have received no reply as yet.

Any other potential leads / suggestions would be gratefully received,

Kind regards,

Richard

Hi Guys,

I am very interested in this thread. One of the Airman killed that day was my Uncle, John Richard Folkard who was at the time, working for Airwork Ltd, based at Hurn Airport. He had only left the RAF a few months before. I am researching anything i can find regarding this tragedy, so any information would be very welcome. His sister, my Mother still does not have a complete picture of what happened that day, so I am trying to fill in the missing pieces. The Bournemouth Echo reported that the two Fireflies (VG965 & VG967) were performing target towing for HMS Bulwark some 50 miles from Bridlington. Thanks.

Kind regards Richard. richardsenior@hotmail.com
