Blenheim L1263: Took off for transit flight from RAF Bicester back to RAF Oulton. 14/03/1941
On reaching RAF Oulton at about 18:30 hrs , the pilot carried out a very low, high speed pass across the airfield, before pulling up and joining the circuit. He then dived and began another fast run on a course which was taking him towards a tall tree. At the last moment, the pilot pulled up into a near vertical climb, but a wing struck the branches and was torn away. Seconds later, the plane smashed into the driveway of Green Farm, Oulton village and burst into flames.
