Botha/Defiant air collision 27 August 1941

Hi guys

I would appreciate some detail/background please relating to the aerial collision between a Botha and a Defiant off Blackpool on 27 August 1941.

I understand that both crews were killed, as were 12 civilians on the ground at Blackpool Central Station, upon which wreckage fell.

Names of those killed would also be appreciated.

Cheers
Brian
