1933 Imperial Airways Dixmude crash

The City of Liverpool disaster was the fatal accident involving the Armstrong Whitworth Argosy II aeroplane City of Liverpool, flown by British airline Imperial Airways. Crashing near Diksmuide (Dixmude), northern Belgium on 28 March 1933 after an onboard fire, all fifteen aboard were killed, making it the deadliest accident in the history of British civil aviation to that time. It has been suggested that this was the first airliner ever lost to sabotage,[2] and in the immediate aftermath suspicion centred on one passenger, Dr Albert Voss, who seemingly jumped from the aircraft before it crashed.
