On 6 January 1942 Armstrong Whitworth Whitley mk V of 102 Squadron, serial number Z9289 set off from its base at RAF Dalton, North Yorkshire about 10 miles south-west of Thirsk. The aircraft was airborne at 04:24 to attack the mighty German battleships Scharnhorst and Gneisenau in Brest harbour. It was part of a force of 154 aircraft, mainly Vickers Wellingtons that were dispatched to attack naval targets in the French port. The two-engine Whitley turned back over Cherbourg after the starboard engine failed. Having made significant progress back to base the aircraft suffered a fire in the unserviceable engine whilst 12 miles south of Sheffield. The pilot, Sgt Hollingworth ordered the crew to bail out and then kept the aircraft as straight as he could to allow this. Although all other four crew members managed to abandon the aircraft Sergeant Buchanan bailed out on the south side of West Road and his parachute failed to deploy correctly and he was killed when it became entangled with the destructor tower on the Corporation tip. The pilot was committed to a forced landing and the aircraft came down in the quarry at 10:10 in the quarry at the rear of Creswell Street, killing Sgt Hollingworth.
