Revisiting an old thread

Hi Guys

Last Wednesday was the 70th anniversary of the crash I have been researching. A visit was in order and after seeing Just Jane and the Memorial Flight I placed my poppy cross at the edge of Ostler’s plantation overlooking what was once the north end of the Woodhall Spa main runway.

I now have the accident forms from Hendon and Kew which show that a broken oil pipe was the cause of the propeller feathering. Does anyone know if Rolls Royce have a research section where they may have accident investigation reports regarding the engines (I have the engine numbers)?

Thanks

Si
