1933 Imperial Airways Diksmuide crash
The 1933 Imperial Airways Diksmuide crash was the fatal accident involving the Armstrong Whitworth Argosy II aeroplane City of Liverpool, flown by British airline Imperial Airways. The aircraft crashed 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, and in the immediate aftermath suspicion centred on one passenger, Dr. Albert Voss, who seemingly jumped from the aircraft before it crashed.
