Blenheim K7114: Took off for Training flight. 09/03/1941
The pilot of this aircraft had been given forty five minutes instructional flying in a dual controlled Blenheim. Twenty five minutes later he was instructed to undertake his first solo in Blenheim K7114 and was to carry out a basic training flight of a series of local circuits and landings. He had completed the first of these landings and left to circle to do a second but it was while he was making a wide circuit of the airfield and flying at around 600 feet the port wing dropped and the aircraft side-slipped into the ground. The port engine was found to have been excessively oily and this may have caused the engine to cut out.
