Hunters running out of fuel

Reading the thread regarding the shooting down of five hunters, reminded me of this incident.
Although I was too young at the time.

By Brother in Law who did his National Service in the RAF, and spent some time at West Raynham, told me about this
incident, when six Hunters and one pilot were lost in a single day in 1956.

On 8 February 1956 the Royal Air Force lost six Hawker Hunter jet fighters in a multiple aircraft accident. Eight aircraft from RAF West Raynham had been carrying out a 4×4 dogfight exercise at 45,000 feet (14,000 m). Upon completion of the exercise the eight Hunters diverted to RAF Marham but due to bad weather six of the aircraft were lost including one fatality.
