Miles Magister P6364 was assigned to 4 School of Technical Training, RAF St Athan. The aircraft was written off (damaged beyond repair) when it hit a HT cable in bad visibility 4 miles east of St Athan on 23rd April 1940. The power lines are no doubt those that leave Aberthaw Power station and lead north and then east via the village of Penmark and on towards Barry. Look around Curnix farm, Barry, South Glamorgan (the probable crash site). The Magister was on charge to RAF St Athan Station Flight.
