On the 2nd of July 1972 a Cessna took off from Teesside Airport to fly in the direction of Bridlington. The aircraft had being flying low so that one of those on board could photograph his farm near Ingleby Greenhow. The pilot then did not pull the aircraft in time in order to clear the high ground in front of it. The pilot managed to pull up the nose of the aircraft at the last moment which may well have saved the lives of the three men on board but the aircraft somersaulted a number of times before coming to a halt upside down on Greenhow Moor. The three men on board they were lucky to walk away with their lives.
