We’re still collecting data for this aircraft. Routes appear once we’ve seen it fly enough times.
En route, the engine failed, forcing the pilot to attempt an emergency landing. On final, the aircraft went out of control and crashed in a field located in Stanton Harcourt, west of Oxford. While the pilot was injured, the aircraft was damaged beyond repair. Crew: Harvey T. Bonser, pilot. Probable cause (official findings): Engine failure caused by a fuel exhaustion. A fuel gauge stuck indicating ¼ tank when the tank was actually empty.
