En route from RAF Kinloss to RAF Kirkbride and while flying over the Pennines Mountain Range, east of Penrith, the pilot encountered poor weather conditions with icing. He decided to modify his route, passing via the Alston valley. Few minutes later, while cruising in limited visibility, the twin engine airplane impacted the slope of Mt Cross Fell then slid for few dozen meters and came to rest. All five crew members were injured. Crew (4th AOS): Sgt Victor Henry Hill, pilot, Sgt W. C. A. Hughes
