Narrative:
Mosquito TA525: Took off for training flight, 14/02/1946
Flew into high ground on Castle Bolton estate, North Yorkshire. The Dutch pilot was tasked with a solo training flight in a Mosquito, and after entering into a band of poor weather over the Yorkshire Dales, the he lost control and crashed. Air Traffic Control had instructed the pilot to climb, but he failed to do this in time, and the aircraft crashed into high ground near Castle Bolton, Wensleydale, North Yorkshire (the 1,300-foot Rowantree Pasture Hillside) killing him instantly. The aircraft was destroyed in the crash. It was thought that the pilot had not understood the instructions given to him but the ground controller was held partly to blame for directing the pilot to fly over high ground in bad weather.
