Meanwhile, thinking that a/c was already clear, permission was given for Manchester L7385 to land on the same runway. The two a/c met head-on, there was an explosion, and although both the ambulance and fire tender raced to the scene, four aircrew had died instantly. A fifth died minutes later in the arms of the Medical Officer, Alan Ambrey-Smith. Amongst the dead were the pilot of the Lancaster and the flight engineer. Miraculously, five crewmen had escaped from the collision alive, although with varying degrees of injury. The pilot of the Manchester was admitted to the Burns Unit at RAF Hospital at Rauceby. He later returned to flying, but not operationally. The rear gunner of the Lancaster suffered shock and concussion. His only recollection of the accident was of waking up briefly in the ambulance and seeing another airmen whose face was covered in blood, at which point he passed out again. Sent home to Brighton to convalesce, he stayed out later than usual one night and decided to catch a bus home. Unfortunately the driver was having none of it, and declared ‘This bus is for war-workers only!, Dick lkin’s reply is not recorded.
