Keith Grant Learn. 66 Squadron - Tangmere.

A pleasure.

I will dig out what I have.

By the way, this was a CFIT and if on a non-operational flight then this would possibly explain non-inclusion in Franks' FCL.

Thank you, excuse my ignorance, but what is a CTIT?

Thanks

Adam

CFIT = Controlled Flight Into Terrain

It may be rather more modern jargon than wartime period, but is currently used in the aviation industry worldwide to categorise accidents of this nature.

I have searched but not yet located a Police report - but I will have something! Unfortunately, my 1944 Sussex incidents are in a large box file and not in date order, yet.

What is your interest in this case? Always pleased to help - but equally curious as to reason for specific interest.

The only additional information I have been able to establish is:

11.45 hours

Map Reference 378345

This is a wartime OS map reference, but it places it pretty much exactly on the crown of the wooded hill at Tegleaze, and due south of East Lavington.

Thank you very much Andy, I will PM you via your website

Thanks
