What happened
Mary du Caurroy, known as Her Grace The Duchess of Bedford, initiated a solo private flight departing from Woburn Abbey. During the journey, while traversing airspace over the North Sea, the aircraft encountered an incident leading to a crash. The specific circumstances surrounding the loss of control or impact remain unknown based on available data.
Search and recovery efforts yielded limited results. A small amount of debris was located floating on the water's surface, but no trace of the Duchess was found. Consequently, the event is recorded as a fatal accident with one fatality.
