After encountering the weather they attempted to divert to Marham but were unable to locate the runway due to fog. Four aircraft ran out of fuel, the pilots ejecting near Swaffham. WW635 flew into the ground killing the pilot. WW603 did make a final approach but ran out of fuel and belly landed short of the airfield.
