On 14th September 1944, Pilot Officer H.F.R.Goblet made a wheels-up landing on Llangennith beach in Rhossili Bay, near Swansea, West Glamorgan, in Hawker Typhoon Mk.1B JR384 of 198 Squadron (3 weeks after MN492 did the same). He was engaged in rocket firing practise over the Burry Holms ranges when he was partially overcome by carbon monoxide fumes and passed out. Aircraft landed on the intertidal zone of the beach - above the low tide mark, but below the high tide level - and was covered by incoming tide. Aircraft may not have been recovered.
