8. We [deleted] (I) [/deleted] have [deleted] have not [/deleted] visited the scene of the accident before [deleted] after [/deleted] aircraft was [deleted] were [/deleted] removed and have found the following material facts:
Aircraft Wellington X. LN.167 struck the ground a fairly flat angle, low speed, broke up partially, and took fire. Wreckage distribution as at sketch (Appendix F) indicating port wing struck ground first followed by impact of Port Engine, Nose of aircraft which broke away. Aircraft finally slewed round and burnt out almost entirely, outer starboard wing and tail unti [sic] being unburnt. Bomb door handle was located and was at SHUT. Front petrol cocks were found in correct position. Engine controls although badly damaged appeared to be consistent with port engine failure. Two practice bombs were found, one intact.
9. We (I) have been unable to obtain the evidence of the following material witnesses:
[a] Name [b] Rank [c] Unit [d] Reasons precluding obtaining of evidence [e] How concerned with accident
[underlined] 10. CONCLUSIONS. [/underlined] Under this Heading the following should always be included:
(a) Brief description of the accident and its attendant circumstances.
(b) Diagnosis of cause or causes including all contributory factors.
(c) Recommendations, if called for by the convening authority.
(a) Aircraft Wellington X LN 167 took off on a Bombing detail at 1015 hours on 30/11/44 (2nd Witness) next heard of over Rufford Range where one bomb was dropped. Engine was heard making abnormal noises at 11.06 hrs. Aircraft was next seen at very low height (about 300') approaching airfield from Easterly direction (Range lies to West) in a dive. Aircraft levelled out made part right hand circuit of airfield disappeared to north of airfield, was next seen below the top level just prior to crashing. Aircraft flew round airfield in a very nose up attitude and was in a similar attitude immediately prior to crash. Crash at field adjoining Crow Park Farm (Map ref. 241860 Sheet 46 1" to mile) was immediately preceded by dropping of port wing.
(b) (i) [underlined] Primary Cause of death. [/underlined] or Pilot Officer Row [sic] and crew (except rear gunner) was multiple injuries and burns, cause of death of Sgt Morris (rear gunner) was multiple injuries only, all the result of accident to Wellington MR.X LN.167 on 30/11/44
(ii) [underlined] Primary cause of accident [/underlined] to Wellington MK.X.LN.167 was loss of control by the pilot while flying at very low altitude on one engine.
(Note:- Loss of control may have been due to a stall in attempting to avoid tree (Marked T at Appendix F) or may have been due to pilot attempting to turn to port at low height against the failed engine in an effort to avoid obstructions).
[underlined] Secondary causes of accident were:- [/underlined]
Engine failure followed by loss of height before an airfield was reached.
Note:- 1. In view of the time elapse between leaving the range (10th witness) and reaching airfield (2nd & 9th witnesses) and the request for D/F assistance using a priority it is apparent but not proven that the pilot became lost. In view of the loss of height during this interval it is also apparent that the pilot's ability to fly on one engine was poor. The loss of height may also have been due to the pilot not concentrating on his flying owing to being lost. The fact that Balance Cock B was found closed indicates that the full drill for manipulation of fuel cocks in event of engine failure had not been carried out.

10. (Continued)
Note II. The fact that the instructions in force regarding teaching of single engine landings, had not been complied with is not considered to have any bearing on the accident since the pilot was not in a position to make a right and [sic] circuit and landing once he had lost height to approximately 80 ft. The fact that he dived towards the airfield may have been an attempt to crash land thwarted by obstructions (aircraft in dispersals) but this cannot be proven.
The court consider that the weather was a contributory secondary cause in that it prevented the pilot from seeing the airfield from a distance (2nd witness, R/T Log} but that for normal flying the weather was satisfactory.
Note:- The court do not consider that the failure of the watchkeeper in Flying Control to receive and pass on the information relating to use of a priority in the request from Wellington LN. 167 for Q.D.M's to have any bearing in this case on the accident since every assistance was given by Flying Control from the time of sighting of the aircraft at 11.23 hours, the priority first having been received by the D/F Operator at 11.21 hours.
(c) The court recommend that the recent extension to the engine life of Hercules Engines from 300 hours to 360 hours be reviewd [sic] by higher authority.

REPORT OF COMMANDING OFFICER
File Ref. No.
I concur with the finding except that there is no evidence to prove that the pilot's ability to fly on one engine was poor, owing to his loss of height. The 9th witness saw him approaching the flying field in a dive that was levelled out at approximately 80'. It would appear that he hoped to crash land or carry out some manoeuvre, contrary to his instructions.

REMARKS OF GROUP COMMANDER File Ref. No.
I concur with the causes of the accident as set out at para 10 and I consider the notes in that respect to be an intelligent and constructive attempt to "visualise" the circumstances of the accident. While not contributory to the crash, I consider the Flight Commander, S/Ldr Harris to have shown a lack of interest and supervision of the execution of Flight Orders and I have advised the Unit Commander to that effect and called for appropriate action.
Signature (Sgd) G.W. HAYES G/CAPT.

FORWARDING REMARKS OF COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF File Ref. No. 8375
Concur with the findings and the remarks of the Group Commander.
The recommendation referring to the restriction of engine life is not agreed. Statistics show that the extension to 360 hours has been more than justified.

Rowe and crew to carry out a high level Bombing practice over RUFFORD range. I obtained a weather forecast at 0750 hours and later at 0900 hours for the local area including the range area from the duty meteorological forecaster. In my opinion, based on the forecast and my own observations from the ground, the weather was fit for the exercise.

I, 147387 A/F/L. M. Smith am a flying control officer at R.A.F. Station, Ossington.
On 30.11.44 I was duty flying control officer. Wellington MK X. LN.167 took off for RUFFORD Bombing Range at 1015 hours on 30.11.44. Between 11.20 and 11.26 the aircraft (Wellington MKX.LN167) was reported as having been given four Q.D.M's (course to steer to reach base) (see extract of Watchkeepers log at Appendix D). No priority was requested and the request for D/F assistance (Direction finding assistance) was not considered abnormal. At 11.23 hours I observed Wellington MK.X.LN 167 South West of airfield making a right hand circuit at an estimated height of 150-200 ft. and distant from the Watch Office, where I was located, about 1.1/2 miles. Two minutes later the aircraft called up on T.R. 1196 (Radio Telephone) requesting permission to make a right-hand circuit, stating that his port engine was u/s (unserviceable) (see extract R/T Log at Appendix E). Simultaneously I observed a RED verey cartridge fired from the aircraft. I ordered rockets and mortars to be fired in order to assist the pilot in keeping the airfield in sight. The pilot stated (over Radio Telephone) that he was at 100 feet requested continuation of firing of pyrotechnics which was complied with. He further said that he could not see airfield after being given unqualified permission to land on any runway he could reach. Rockets were fired until some time after aircraft disappeared from sight and broke off two way Radio Telephone communication. Position at which I first saw the aircraft is marked as Point A on sketch map at Appendix A. At 1135 Wellington X LN861 was allowed to take off to look for Wellington MK,XLN167 which I suspected had crashed. The pilot of this aircraft F/L A.H. BATTERSBY of 93 Group Screened Pilots School located and passed the position of the crash and fire tenders and ambulances were promptly despatched.

I, S/Ldr M. McINTYRE, Chief Technical Officer at 82 O.T.U., Ossington state:- On 30.11.44, I arrived at the scene of the accident to Wellington X LN.167 approximately fifteen minutes after the accident had happened. I found the aircraft burning, medical personnel were endeavouring to remove the bodies. The aircraft was almost totally destroyed both engines and mountings having been torn away from the aircraft. The port engine was about 30 yards away from the main wreckage, the propellor was feathered. There was no sign of fire on either engine. I removed the scavenge oil filter from the port engine and found particles of metal together with pieces of piston ring in the filter. On further inspection of the engine at R.A.F. Station Ossington the following defects were found:- All the front cylinder connecting rods were fractured – all front sleeve drive cranks were fractured and the sleeves seized – the front big End and bearing had run – the pistons in the front bank of cylinders had disintegrated. It is suggested that the primary cause of the engine failure was due to failure of the front big end bearing with consequential oil starvation of the front bank cylinder assembly. Lack of oil pressure would render the spray jet (housed in cranshaft [sic] front balance weight) inoperative leading to seizure of the sleeves through lack of oil and overheating. On examination of the wreckage balance cock A was found to be closed. I also noted that Balance Cock B was closed and C P and C S (Main wing tank cocks) were open.

On 4.11.44 I was detailed to carry out check dual circuits with P/O Rowe, a pupil pilot in "A" Flight. I gave this pupil flapless landing practice and left hand single engine circuit and landing practice. I did not teach this pilot right-hand circuits being unaware of instructions requiring right hand circuits (in simulating port engine failure) to be carried out. P/O Rowe was an average pilot showed no unusual tendancies [sic]. He was confident and a hard worker. I sent him solo after advising him on the procedure in the event of port engine failure. I frequently make checks of all orders and instructions and make every effort to keep up to date on them.

Mr. John Goodwin (Junior) of Crow Park Farm, Sutton on Trent (Farmer) states:- I was working in the West field east of Crow Park Farm (Marked A on sketch) Appendix F. At about 1120 hours on 30/11/44 I saw a Wellington aircraft with one engine stopped flying in a circuit of Ossington airfield, this aircraft flew out of sight in the airfield direction. A few minutes later it appeared from the north west, to the right of Crow Park Farm and buildings below tree top level. The aircraft was then level laterally but his nose appeared to be up as though he was trying to climb. After crossing the boundary of the field in which he crashed his port wing dropped and the aircraft struck the ground, spun round and burst into flames. I ran over and assisted in rescuing the rear gunner.

I, F/L T.L. Carr Medical Officer states:- On 30.11.44 I was duty medical officer at R.A.F. Station Ossington. At about 11.30 I was warned that a crash was likely to occur and on further information a few minutes later proceeded to scene of the accident to Wellington MK.X.LN 167. On arrival at the scene of the accident R.278665 Sgt. Morris (rear gunner) had been removed from the rear turret to a point about 15 yards away from the crash by civilians. The remaining crew members were lying among the wreckage of the aircraft, having already died as a result of the multiple injuries and burns, the direct result of the aircraft crash. R.278665 Sgt. Morris died about half an hour later despite first aid treatment on the spot and subsequent treatment in Station Sick Quarters I hereby certify that J41261 P/O Rowe, J.G.

I was unable to determine the exact position of the crew members in the aircraft apart from the rear gunner who was removed from the rear turret. The other crew members were in the fore-part of the wreckage. I was not able to tell whether safety straps were used by the pilot owing to the extent of destruction of aircraft and the extensive fire.

The order (at Appendix G) was, I find, issued as Crew Order No 65. As at that time a crew order No. 65 on a difference [sic] subject was in force I can only assume that the new order No 65 was not incorporated on that account.
