Dennis,

Found that two Corsair III aircraft of 1849 Squadron were involved in the head on collision.
Wadsworth's Corsair was JS671.

Pilot of other airplane was SubLt Jack Grogan, who escaped with minor injuries. Serial of his Corsair not known (at least, to me).

Homebase at that time was Lewiston Naval Auxiliary Airfield, Maine , or HMS Baker for RN.

Regards,

Leendert
