Please I'm going potty.!!!

I was reading this link I picked up off of here

http://www.oldairfields.fotopic.net/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

And came upon a memorial to a Tornado / Cessna crash in North Nott'm, at a place called Mattersey Thorpe. This occured whilst I was working abroad (1999), and I didn't hear anything about it . I've spent a bit of this afternoon doing a g..oogle search but have so far drawn a blank, any body point me in the right direction please ??

This was a Tornado from the TTTE at Cottesmore IIRC. There was a report on the AAIB website but whether it's still there or not I'm not sure. I'll see if I can find it.

I read this last night. Very interesting but at the same time very sad for the people involved. Highlights the importance of a good lookout. RIP

Thanks very much Gareth.
I am from Nott'm originally and it just struck me as odd that I never heard anything about it .

And as you say Phil RIP and my very belated condolences to the families of all concened.

There are details about the crash in David Needham’s book ‘Nottinghamshire Air Crashes’ ISBN 978 1 84306 425 1, which is available from all good aviation bookshops priced £14.99.

Another new publication that might be of interest and is due out later this month is ‘Category Five’ which is a “re-work and extension” of ‘Lost To Service’ and ‘To Fly No More’, which has been compiled and edited by Colin Cummings. Further details can be found here!

No problem - I knew I'd seen the report online at some point.
