Glider incidents in or around the North Yorkshire Moors.

Glider crashes in or around the North Yorkshire Moors.

This part to the website has been included to cover any non-powered aircraft that have ended up coming to ground unexpectedly in the North Yorkshire Moors area. It is very much a work in progress section. No doubt there are many more incidents than these, this list mainly consists of incidents related to the Sutton Bank site, I suspect that the Carlton Moor site and other areas used in the past have had their fair share of mishaps, I am yet to learn of these. Other sites used on the North Yorkshire Moors for gliding in the past have been at Ingleby Incline Top and at Saltersgate/Hole of Horcum.

Updated June 2007 and is very much a work in progress section, with progress not progressing that well. There are almost certainly many more mishaps at the Sutton Bank site not yet listed on this website, whilst this website is set to list every incident it is not meant to bare any indication of the safeness in the hobby of gliding or the Sutton Bank site itself. Being a very popular site for the last 60+ years accident are sure to happen.
