CQMS Allen was killed in a plane crash. I am just starting to research him

Click for my notes on CQMS Allen

Can anyone add anything about the crash?

I have also found out that there was an aerodrome at Crinkill from 1917 to 1922.

You can see it on the OS sat map -   click for sat map

The old airstrip is in the centre, and the ruins on the Barracks are at the top right centre.

I think Joseph Antill could be the son of John Antill and Priscilla Sharpe, husband at the time of his death to Fanny (nee Provost). 

This is them on 1871 census at The South Front Barracks, Western Heights, Hougham, Dover:
ANTILL, Joseph M 33 1838 Quartermaster Cook, Rifle Brigade, Mountsorrel Leicestershire
ANTILL, Fanny F 24 1847 Cambridgeshire
ANTILL, Fanny Lawrence F 1 1870 Winchester Hampshire

Fanny re-married in 1875
