PrioriesHistoricalSociety 0 Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 On this day in 1957 Vampires FB.5 (VZ860) crashed into a house in Harby after presumed hypoxia of Pilot Officer Stanley Monro (caused by lack of oxygen at high altitude). The Vampire was flying at 18,000 feet with other sqaudron aircraft when it went out of control and crashed into a house. The pilot was killed (no name as yet) as well as a Lois Towning, an elderly lady who was ironing when the aircraft crashed straight into her cottage. The surrounding cottages were also badly damaged injuring two other women who had to be dug out of their homes. Now the site of Harby Village Hall. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
