Plane Crash in Streatham On This Date 29 April 1917
Frank Nelham Clark's plane crashed in Leigham Court Road, Streatham on 29th April 1917 and he was killed.
He clipped some trees and the chimney of his parents house as he was flying low trying to find somewhere to land. The family lived at the "Knowle" which had a 1 acre garden so it was possible he was trying to land in the garden
He was born in Streatham (family lived at "Guestling", Thornlaw Road,) and he is buried at West Norwood Cemetery in a CWGC plot.
