Precautionary landing made due to MGB oil pressure gauge reading zero. After radio discussion with base it was decided the gauge was faulty and so flight resumed.
Two miles from destination the aircraft crashed. The MGB transmission quill had overheated and failed. Oil had been lost due to a hole in an oil pipe caused buy corrosion and prior chaffing from an earlier HF radio cable installation.
