Mosquito HJ816: Took off for training flight /practice firing. 10/09/1944
Made a normal diving approach over the Banks Range, NE of Southport Lancs. but suddenly it became steeper. Attempted to pull out but hit the ground, the starboard wing folding back just before impact. Apparently the pilot’s attention may have been momentarily diverted in dealing with a gun firing mechanism problem.
