Safety history
- March 27, 1940Accident
The crew was performing a navigation reconnaissance exercise (interception of launch) on behalf of the School of General Reconnaissance based in RAF Thorney Island, Sussex (17th Group). While overflying The Channel with two other similar aircraft, at a height of some 700 feet, the pilot started a turn when he lost control of the aircraft that crashed into the sea. Both other Ansons circled the area for some time but no trace of the aircraft nor the crew was found. Crew: F/O Ewen Campbell Lilburn
