Narrative:Mosquito MM814: Took off at 16:10 hrs for Night Flying Test. 07/04/1945
Lost wing recovering from dive and crashed Ugley Green Essex. F/Sgt Hayes and Sgt Chantler were killed whilst they were carrying out a routine night flying test. They were flying mock attacks on a B17 out near Cambridge. They overstressed the aircraft pulling up under said aircraft. It would appear this broke the spar'. Apparently, the aircraft just blew up at an altitude of 7000 ft.
