25 September 1917 – 33 Squadron, C Flight, RFC Elsham Wolds - FE2b - U/K - Lt C Pinnock - Zeppelin alert

Location - Near Elsham village

Death certificate states that this machine crashed at Elsham in "Church Catholt Wood" (but it is thought that this probably refers to "Church Garth Holt Wood" which according to a 1908 map would have been close to the airfield). Both buried at Gainsborough although Pinnock’s date is shown as 30th November 1917. He may have died of his injuries at a later date.
