About MeLight Aircraft Crash
Category: Miscellaneous Tags: Aircraft Crash Newspapers Scotland-----
You’ll probably have seen the news about the light aircraft which crashed in Dundee yesterday. Luckily the pilot was OK. I heard about this last night and this morning I took the opportunity to bike up to the golf course where it happened and take a few snaps before the plane gets removed.
And here’s a link to what the aircraft was like in better times. One of my hobbies is looking at newspaper archives in the local library. I am absolutely sure that this isn’t the first time an aircraft has crashed in Caird Park, the other time being in the 1940s. However despite trawling through my notes, I can’t find any reference to it. Does anyone know for sure?
Update: I was right. The Evening Telegraph website now reports that a Hurricane had crashed in Caird Park on July 28th, 1943. Damn, now if only I’d found my note I could have been the first on the web with this snippet of info.
