Avenger 53697 had been modified as an aerial spray tanker following its RCN service. The pilot of Forest Protection Ltd, Avenger #11, was performing a low fast pass at the Boston Brook airfield. The plane was very low as he started his pass and had to maneuver to avoid the windsock pole. People along the path of flight hit the deck. The left wing then caught an electrical wire and broke off the top quarter of the pole and pulled it for a short distance. The right hand wing then contacted bushes. Witnesses heard power changes to the engine and then the aircraft reappeared from beyond the bush but was banking to the right and then rolled inverted. The aircraft continued through a trailer and then impacted bushes and crashed. The pilot was killed. No one on the ground was injured.
