Re: Aircrash 1968. Stockport.
Something I'll never forget - it came in low over our [then] family home - backfiring etc. and then crashed about a mile away.
Why he didn't [perhaps couldn't] put the thing down in nearby Woodbank Park remains a mystery - where it crashed was perilously close to the Central Police & Fire Stations + the General Infirmary. The emergency services were however right on the scene and behaved heroically. The early 'black box' unit proved to be extremely useful. The plane missed the nearby historic Strawberry [Recording] Studios located in Hillgate by a matter of yards!
