-
- The death penalty has been carried out in almost all societies and although these images from WWI and WWII are unsettling, they still provide a raw account of events from a certain time.

The tragedy occurred on 6 September 1952.
The plane that crashed was a de Havilland DH.110 Sea Vixen.
31 people died in the incident.
A very blase commentary. Hardly suited to the death toll, which must have affected hundreds of family members of those who were killed.
While it was a de Havilland DH110, it wasn't a Sea Vixen. The Sea Vixen eventually derived from this early version, but after the crash they made airframe "improvements" and it took another seven years for the DH110 Sea Vixen to get into service. That didn't stop more than a third of the Sea Vixens built from suffering terminal airframe failures, with the loss of 51 aircrew between its service inception in 1959 and its complete replacement with Phantoms in 1972.
