Re: Beaufighter crash 27/8/41, 143 Sqdrn
The Court of Inquiry A.291446/41 discounted a mid air collision but did note that Sayers was possibly distracted watching another aircraft during the formation practice leading to the loss of height.
No mention is made of an attempted force landing only that they were unable to clear trees on high ground.
AOC recorded cause as Error of Judgement and Cause was altered from F9 - Unknown to F7B Other Error on 30th Sept 1941. (Cause code for Other Error, Collision was F7A- Ross)
