Crashed 2.5 km from Südlohn after suffering a bird strike while at 250 feet: the bird entered the cockpit. The crew had initially attempted to recover the aircraft but both crew (Flt. Lt. M. Brooks and Flt. Lt. W. Kirkpatrick) ejected when speed began to decay. This had been due to the airbrakes being extended.
