| Operation | Training- night navigation exercise |
| Reason for Loss | The Isle of Man was one of the crew's waypoints on the night navigation exercise. After crossing the Irish Sea at an altitude of 1800ft., the aircraft flew into Snaefell, Isle of Man during darkness (at 2015 hrs). Of the seven crew, three were killed and all the others injured. One of the survivors (Sgt. Levett) went for help whilst the others sheltered from the very poor weather in the wreckage. Of the four survivors, three perished later in the war, only Sgt. Levett having survived, although he was seriously injured in another training accident and flown back to his native Australia following a lengthy period of hospitalisation. |
