Sgt William Dunn KIA 10/12/41

A relative of Sgt William Dunn (987476) has asked me to look into the circumstances of his death on 10/12/41 whilst he was at No.13 OTU.

Would anybody have any clues on how to find out information about the crash, perhaps a combination of the following:

No. 13 OTU base records books?
Accident Investigation report?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
