Safety history

February 22, 1944Accident
The aircraft took off from Dumfries at 2017LT on the 22nd February for a night navigation exercise around the northern Irish Sea / North Channel area.
Avro 652 Anson · 3 fatalities
It was the opinion of the Court of Inquiry that the aircraft had been caught up in turbulence between West Freugh and where it crashed and this caused the deviation in the course by a mile and that it was probably subject to a "severe downdraft before action taken by the pilot to counteract the loss of height had taken effect".
