On the 12th of December 1942 the Halifax crashed into a hill north of Hawnby after getting lost on return from Ops to Turin. 82 aircraft were dispatched but more than half turned back before crossing the Alps due to severe icing conditions. This crew were told to divert to Middleton St. George due to thick cloud over base at Pocklington, the aircraft descended through the cloud over the Moors to check position only to strike the high ground near Low Thwaites Farm killing all on board in an instant.
