Crashed while on a five aircraft navigational exercise that had been recalled due to worsening weather. A4-29 while flying in low cloud, slammed into a hill called Arthurs Seat. The front of the aircraft was completely demolished after ploughing through trees, but the tail and mid sections were reasonably left intact. Of the 5 crew members, the only survivor was the turret gunner, located in the rear section of the aircraft.
