"The second mid-air collision also involved a Polish pilot, Sergeant Atanockovic, who was instructing two pupils in a 2 ANS Wellington T.Mk.X NC925 on 20 June 1952, when it collided with a Gloster Meteor T.7 WA777 of 12 Group Communications Flight, flown by Flight Sergeant C Warner, who was just breaking through the clouds over Calverton, Nottinghamshire. In this instance all four crew members" [three in the Wellington, one in the Meteor] "were able to parachute to the ground safely"
