Master on Stainmore.

On the 28th of January 1942 this aircraft was being ferried from Prestick to Catterick when the pilot became lost and the aircraft flew into high ground in the Stainmore region, thought to be on Beldoo Hill. The pilot was sadly killed in the crash with the wreckage not being found for some period of time.

Pilot - 2nd Off Richard H Winn ATA. Buried Maidenhead Cemetery. His personal details are missing from the CWGC online listing.


I have yet to locate the crash site.
