There has been a few aircraft crashes around the Wetherby area and this is not something that is commonly known, they don’t teach local history in schools so how would you find out
Brian Lunn contacted us to correct a detail on the Wetherby Racecourse page and in doing so alerted us to the fact that a Blenheim had crashed on 15th November 1941.
Brian informed us about his book Aircraft Down Air Crashes Around Wetherby 1939-1945 by Brian Lunn, Gavin Hartland. The book is available in the library in Wetherby
Using this and with Brian’s text we have added a few pages for you
