Re: Beaufighter crash 27/8/41, 143 Sqdrn

There was Anson I - N5135 - 2 AOS - Got lost in bad weather and crashed in a forced landing at Kerny Tonlia Farm, Kilchattan, Bute.
Then there were the following collision's though.
Botha I - L6509 with Defiant I - N1745 but this was in the Blackpool area.
And then
Hurricane IIb - Z5145 of 331 Sqdn with Blenheim IV - Z5864 - ( 55/113/15SAAF) over Lybster, Caithness.
So it is possible this event was the one you were seeking ?
Alex

Thanks Alex

I have that info about hitting a tree, an eyewitness said it hit a tree following a mid air collision

The crashsite was in the gardens of Tillery House, the plane did hit a tree, but it was in the process of undertaking a forced landing after the mid air collision.
