	Comment	This is the wreckage of an Avro Anson k11, registration G-ALXH which crashed into a field at Carlton on April 9th 1963. The aircraft was owned by BKS Survey, on board were Captain Ronald Fox who was the pilot, John Symington the navigator and Malcolm Budd a photographer. Malcolm was aged 16 and it was his first flight, all three men escaped from the crash unharmed. The pilot had suspected that one of the two engines was on fire and shut it down but this type of aircraft was not designed to fly on one engine only consequently the crash occurred. Immediately after the accident Captain Fox left the scene and did not return, an investigation found that both engines were in order.

Christine Flesher I remember this and going to have a look with my Dad Ian Lewis There was also a crash on Chevin in the late 80s John Wheatley I came home from school at lunchtime and was told by my dad about the crash who saw it drop behind the tree line. We got in the car and went to the crash site. Near the corner of Carlton and Cross Lanes. Rave-on Goose Kitchen In the mid to late 1960s there was another light aircraft crash. As children. We ran to the site. It was somewhere near the cemetery. Anyone know about it? John Wheatley This was the one at Yeadon Cemetery.
