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.
