Sgt Ford Rowney of 14 OTU RAF took off at 10.44 hours from Cottesmore airfield on his first Hampden solo with the Hampden I P1241 but almost immediately an engine failed and a force-landing was carried out, some 2 miles from the airfield. The pilot was unhurt but the bomber was damaged beyond economical repair. Rowney was killed on 9 September 1941 while serving with 50 Squadron.
