The 1933 Imperial Airways Ruysselede crash occurred on 30 December 1933 when an Imperial Airways Avro Ten collided with one of the radio masts of Belradio at Ruysselede, West Flanders, Belgium and crashed killing all ten people on board.

The aircraft was operating an international scheduled passenger flight from Cologne, Germany to London, England via Brussels, Belgium.

Four workers at the radio station rushed to the aid of those on board the aircraft, as did twelve villagers from Ruysselede.

[6] King Albert I awarded Camille van Hove the Civic Cross (1st Class) for his efforts in attempting to rescue the victims of the crash.

Mr van Hove received serious burns and was still in hospital in Bruges at the time the award was notified.
