On 20.July 1941 this aircraft was taking off during the afternoon from RAF Church Fenton but as he increased in speed and reached the airfield's runway intersection he saw another aircraft on the other runway in the process of landing on an intersecting runway. Both pilots attempted to pull up but the two aircraft collided over the airfield at a height of around fifty feet. Blenheim T2337 hit Oxford's starboard wing and then struck the starboard engine. The Oxford V3623 rolled into the ground and the Blenheim T2337 crashed inverted onto the airfield but no serious injuries were reported.
