de Havilland Canada L-20A Beaver 52-6145 of the 81st Fighter Bomber Wing, crashed on Bramah Edge on the 5th December 1956
John Rossman Tinklepaugh | 1st Lieutenant | Pilot | Killed |
Guy Waller | 1st Lieutenant | Passenger | Killed |
The aircraft was flying from Sculthorpe near Fakenham in Norfolk to Burtonwood so the passenger, also a pilot, could pick up an F-84 which had been at Burtonwood for maintenance and fly it back to Sculthorpe. The aircraft was misidentified by a G.C.A. controller at Burtonwood and was ‘guided’ into the hillside.
