| 6 | Hughes | Karen Lia | Section Officer | 6552 | Australia | Supernumeray | WAAF | 27OTU | Wellington | LN295 | RAF Lichfield | Cross country training | Mid air collision | Killed | Wellington LN 295 took off from RAF Lichfield for an evening cross-country training. At 2208 hours when flying on a south easterly course at an altitude of 16,000 feet, the aircraft collided with Wellington aircraft X 3924 (Sergeant R B Main (RCAF) (Pilot)) from 26 OTU flying on a north easterly course at the same altitude. Both machines crashed near the main gate at RAF Alconbury not far from the village of Abbots Ripton. Both Pilots had been distracted and saw each other too late to avoid a collision. The pilot of X 3924 pushed the control column forward, causing his tail unit to come into collision with LN 295 on the starboard side in the forward part of the aircraft near the pilot’s cockpit. X 3924 then developed an uncontrolled steep spiral dive to port, which finally resulted into an inverted spin, throwing the pilot through the roof of the cockpit. The aircraft continued to dive at very high speed and it disintegrated due to stress on the airframe. It would have been extremely difficult for the crew to abandon the aircraft, although the Captain had ordered abandon. LN 295 went into a dive from which the pilot was unable to recover. He gave orders to abandon the aircraft, but the inter-com was useless and the call light could not be found. He did not know whether any of the crew had received the order to bale out. The pilot was injured in the collision and finally baled out at 7,000 feet. Both pilots wore their chutes. Five of the crew in LN 295 were killed, Heffernan was injured. Five (three RAF and two RCAF) crew members from X 3924 were killed and the Pilot was injured. | ||||||||||||||
