WW2 Hampden loss, blue on blue?

30th Oct 1941, H P Hampden P1294 14otu RAF Cottesemore crashed near Oswestry in Shropshire with the loss of all 4 crew.
The official air ministry report differs greatly from several eye witness reports as to the final moments of P1294.
Eye witness describe seeing the aircraft in low controlled flight for at least 5 miles, although smoking and losing parts of structure before attempting a crash landing in a field. some crew members survived the impact and could be heard an seen struggling in the wreckage, moments later it burst into flames, driving back any attempt of rescue.
The official report blames the pilot for having his harness loosely fitted and him being thrown against the control column during air turbulence,(could the loose harness be from trying to escape on the ground before the aircraft burst into flames?).the aircraft then diving into the ground.
reports also say the the pitot tube may have frozen whilst in cloud, thus giving a false air speed. the pilot then attempting to push the nose of the aircraft down to gain speed, unfortunately he may have had plenty of airspeed, the airframe/wings being overstressed with possible break up..
in the official reports there would be very little chance of survival in the described manner and as you can read it differs greatly from eye witness statements.
It is well known that the Hampden could be mistaken for a Dornier 17 if the light was bad or in cloud. i wonder if there are there any reports of a claim on this date for a German bomber being shot down??, perhaps even upto 40-50 miles radius?.
