So far a good deal of conflicting reports on this one, most saying that the aircraft lost it’s tail and crashed into the ground; but one that mentions the pilot may have run out of oxygen at 10,000 ft before crashing into the ocean. Given the information on this engine I am inclined to believe it crashed into the channel. Does anyone have the ORB for No 1 Squadron in July 1943? I would imagine that either oxygen or tail problems would be mentioned as the cause along with more accurate details regarding the crash location.
