Narrative:
North American Harvard T.2B KF192,["FAB-C"] RAF College, Cranwell. Written off (destroyed) 11/9/51 when crashed at Cranwell, Lincolnshire. Pilot killed

The pilot was tasked to carry out a rehearsal of an aerobatic routine, for an upcoming Battle of Britain Air Display. This required the Harvard to fly at an altitude of no more then 1,000 feet. However, to begin the routine, the pilot rolled the Harvard at around 600 feet, and while inverted, the aircraft began to lose height. The aircraft then rolled over and briefly collided with another RAF College Harvard (KF191), and then dived into the ground, bursting into flame on impact with the ground.
