The aircraft had taken off at 17:05 hrs for a patrol.
In the course of October, Grave airfield had become a very muddy place due to the relentless rain.
And so it happened that when a pilot got his Spitfire (RM687) stuck in the mud upon landing, his colleague that came in to land after him got on a collision course and rammed the former Spitfire.
Both Canadian pilots survived the accident.
