Page moved to 1933 Imperial Airways Dixmude crash. There was some discussion. What was clear is that the old name was not acceptable. However the target page was not clear. I made a decision based on the comments. If there is a better choice, feel free to nominate. Vegaswikian (talk) 00:32, 30 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment if this is the common name, then it should not be moved to the suggested title. However I feel the current title is insufficiently disambiguous, as it could refer to a disaster in the city of Liverpool. 64.229.103.232 (talk) 05:30, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Or to a disaster to a ship named City of Liverpool (should one have happened). The move request means that the existing title will remain as a redirect until such time that it is proved that it needs to be converted into a disambiguation page. Mjroots (talk) 13:56, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It was not the only Imperial Airways accident in 1933. Avro Ten G-ABLU collided with a radio mast at Ruysselede, Belgium in December with the loss of 10 lives. Mjroots (talk) 07:36, 26 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox states that there were 12 passengers, 6 crew and 15 fatalities (all). If all perished then shouldn't it be 18 fatalities or am I missing something? 151.170.240.10 (talk) 07:33, 28 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The article recounts the accusations made by Albert Voss' estranged brother, but does not say if there was any supporting evidence, or if these claims were unsupported. If the police had been investigating him, there should be records of the investigation, but we learn nothing more of that claim. The reader is left hanging. What's the skinny? --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 14:20, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The Times has extracts from the inquest, Hugo Voss (one of the sons) was asked "Do you know whether there was any criminal proceedings pending against your father? he answered No. He was also asked about carrying drugs and the son replied "I absolutely deny it". He also said he was convinced that his father could have deliberately ended his life but was incapable of setting fire to the airliner. His other son Alfred Voss said he had never known him to purchase or traffic drugs. He does mention that Dearden discussed the dropping of smuggled items by parachute, the coroner infered they were possibly drugs but Alfred denied that. He didnt believe his father committed suicide. It does appear that a lot of rumours had been in the newspapers and the coroner was trying to get to the bottom of them but didnt really get far with the sons. The jury came back with an open verdict so they thought something was fishy enough not to give an accidental death verdict but there doesnt appear to be any proof. Part of the coroner summing up he said the relatives of Mr. Voss had suffered a form of persecution from some misguided people. He regarded it as mean and cowardly, and quite unjustified, and he hoped these people would now cease that sort of thing. So the London Times reports do not quite agree with the article as written about the brother making the accusations. MilborneOne (talk) 15:36, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
