The pilot of this aircraft reported that his port engine was over-speeding which then caught fire during a training flight. He stated that he could not feather the engine, or maintain height, so he and his navigator baled out. By the time the pilot left the aircraft, he was too low for his parachute to deploy properly, and was killed. The navigator survived, although his name is not yet known. The aircraft crashed near Low Forest Farm, Kirklevington, North Yorkshire.
