Hurricane Z3076 – Roseden

“In memory of my second son ‘Life’s work well done, now cometh rest’ ” is the inscription on a grave in Harrogate Stonefall Cemetery. 

The grave is that of F/O Ulric Leslie Look Yan of Trinidad, only 21 years of age when he lost his life in a flying accident during the course of his training with 59 Operational Training Unit at RAF Milfield on 14th January 1944.

F/O Look Yan was killed when his Hurricane, serial number Z3076, crashed at Roseden whilst low flying in poor weather.

A small memorial plaque was erected at the tree where his aircraft crashed as it broke up across fields, eventually ending up in the farmyard.

More broken branches and what appears to be a wing tip imbedded into the ground.
