1996 Barton Aerodrome crash

British air show disaster

A crash occurred at Barton Aerodrome on 21 July 1996 at the annually held Barton air show in Manchester, England. Nearing the end of its display, the de Havilland DH.98 Mosquito piloted by Kevin Moorhouse performed a steep climb into a wingover. The left engine then failed, at which point aircraft control was lost, crashing into woods near Barton Aerodrome.
