Who We Are
Most research groups tend to be made up of small numbers with a core of two or three people and we are no different. We both started visiting crash site with family members during the 1990s and started visiting crash sites and researching their histories together in 2001. Since then we have co-operated closely with other researchers in the region and have still on occasions visited sites with family and friends.
The name Peak District Air Accident Research came about from us being invited to install a display at the RAF Millom Aviation & Military Museum in 2004, at this point it was better to have a name to attach to everything and to show people what we do, research aircraft accidents in the Peak District.
We are:
Alan Clark, from Romiley near Stockport and started visiting crash sites in February 1999 and since then have visited over 370 crash sites.
This photo of me was taken in 2007 at the crash site of Hurricane Mk.I V6565 on Sca Fell in the Lake District.
Mark Sheldon, from Poynton in Cheshire, started visiting crash sites in April 1992 and has since then visited over 550 crash sites throughout the British Isles.
This photo was taken at the crash site of Bristol Blenheim Mk.I L1252 in the North Pennines during early 2008.
