On the 16th of October 1940 this aircraft was being ferried to Prestwick in poor weather when it crashed into high ground on Ilkley Moor killing the sole occupant.
ATA Pilot - F/O Thomas D Trouncer RAFVR (74264), aged 34, of South Kensington, London. Buried Kensal Green R.C. Cemetery, London.
I have yet to locate the crash site. Graham Sharpe however did locate fragments at the site in 1979, the photograph above shows these fragments.
