Curtiss JN4 at Redcar.

On the 6th of July 1917 this aircraft crashed on landing at Redcar.

This Curtis JN4 was built by Curtiss in Toronto and shipped to the UK. It was delivered to AAP Hendon on 25th of April 1916, fitted with dual controls, tested and accepted on the 1st of May 1916 and immediately flown to RNAS Flying School Chingford the same day. It was transferred to RNAS Redcar on the 8th of September 1916. Following a Cat R ground accident in December 1916 it was sent to Blackburn's in Leeds for repair (possibly flown to Leeds suggesting damage was minor). It returned to Redcar on 26th December 1916. The aircraft later suffered this Cat W/FA on the 6th of July 1917 and was deleted as beyond economic repair on the 8th of September 1917.

Pilot - Unknown, ok.
