Avro 504 near Redcar.

On the 14th of July 1916 this aircraft suffered an engine failure mid-flight, the pilot attempted a force-landing in a field with crops in it. Its undercarriage was torn off in the landing, the pilot sustained injuries. The aircraft had been built by Brush EE Co Ltd of Loughborough and was delivered to RNAS Redcar on the 13th March 1916. It was accepted following a test flight on the 31st of March 1916. Following this Cat R/FA accident on the 14th July 1916, it was repaired and returned to service at Redcar. It was finally deleted from stock in February 1918, although this is not thought to have been as a result of an accident but probably through obsoleteness.
