[RAF Elsham Wolds] [Local Crashes] [25 September 1917 33 Sqn]

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

Location - Near Elsham village

FE2B -

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.
