WW2 loss of an Avro York
Hello,
WW2 loss of an Avro York. On the 14th of November 1944 an Avro York crashed into the side of a mountain. The Pilot was a chap named Lancaster. All ten persons aboard were killed. Serial number was MW126. Does anyone know (a) why this a/c was according to Air Britain MA100-MZ999 flying 120 m north of its intended track and another source (b) that it was flying too low in bad weather /fog over the French Alps (c) What information was given out to the media at the time on the AVM's loss or was there a black out on the news of his loss until after the war? The passengers were AVM Sir Trafford Leigh Mallory and his wife Lady Doris Jean Leigh Mallory. The AVM was on his way to take up his new Command in the Far East. Thanks Alex
