Lancaster Mk I PD227 AS-V

Training Excersise

On October 12, 1944, P/O McChesnie was piloting Lancaster PD227 AS-V, engaged in Fighter Affiliation air firing detail.

W/O Norman Pretlove was piloting Hurricane LF390 with 1687 Bomber Defence Training Flight.

The aircraft were involved in a mid-air collision. An accident investigation officer stated: "I agree that the primary cause of the

accident was that the Lancaster PD 227 of 166 Squadron was over Hemswell at 800-1000 feet instead of over Ingham at 300 feet.

And that, insofar, the pilot of the Lancaster is primarily to blame.

At the same time it was the duty of the Hurricane pilot to keep a good lookout, especially on a aerodrome circuit.

No doubt he couldn’t see the Lancaster just before impact but a good look round before he went into his left hand turn would have

saved the situation. It ‘takes two to make a collision’ especially in conditions of good visibility, when visual control is operative."
