On the 8th of July1941 during a practice attack, one pilot (Sgt May) was killed in Hurricane P2724 when it collided with P2874 over the small town of Garmouth. One aircraft crashed near Connagedale Farm on the south side of Garmouth and the other aircraft crashed at an unknown location in or near Garmouth.I would like to know where second aircraft(P2874) came down.
Can Anyone tell me?

The month given Roy9 in the original post is wrong and should be July.

Doesn’t seem to be any info out there. I wonder if it came down in the sea?
