Mosquito HR255: Crashed. 11/10/1948
The crew manoeuvred about 100m from the village of Lipany.
After 3-4 turns, it was only 30-40 meters.
After the last one, the airplane tried to climb, but it fell to the left wing, hit the ground and burned out.
Both airmen immediately perished.
Investigation of the cause has, of course, indicated an lack of discipline in air.
Crew:
npor. Vratislav LIŠKA (pilot) ČSL - killed
ppor.Mudr František VOTRUBA (nav.) ČSL - killed
