Finningley (Holy Trinity and St. Oswald) Chyd. Extension
On the afternoon of 18th November 1941, Manchester L7428 of 25 OTU based at RAF Finningley, was operating from RAF Bircotes, a grass aerodrome next door to RAF Bawtry, the headquarters of No.1 Group Bomber Command which occupied the eighteenth century Bawtry Hall. The reason for flying from this satellite was probably because the crew, which consisted of a number of pilots, were to practice taking turns at taking-off and landing away from the busy and crowded Finningley airfield. It is possible that the aircraft had just taken off with F/Sgt Adams at the controls when the port engine caught fire in flight. This could have been due to the excessive strain that multiple take-offs placed on the unreliable Vulture engines. The subsequent investigation into the crash believed that the aircraft was at an altitude from which the pilot was unable to make a safe landing on only one engine, particularly as the propeller of the stricken engine had not been feathered. The accident Card for L7428 suggests two possible causes for this; either the pilot had failed to feather the propeller, or the engine fire effected the hydraulic pump or oil pipe that controlled the propeller feathering equipment, putting it out of action. According to eyewitnesses, at 16.25hrs the aeroplane was flying very low over Bawtry village when it descended even lower over some farm buildings. It then turned sharply to the left before violently striking the ground through a hedge at Scaftworth, two miles to the south-east of Bircotes at 16.32hrs. The aircraft was burnt out. Tragically, this accident resulted in the death of three of the five crew on board.
