Collided with Fury K2047 during flight attack training & abandoned.
Pilot Flt Lt Richard Brown (28 Sep 1906-23 Apr 1934) baled out but hit the ground before his parachute fully deployed. The pilot of K2047 was Fg Off William Erskine Snell Tanner of Pretoria, South Africa. The aircraft were flying in formation and were due to turn but investigations suggest that Brown turned too sharply and struck Tanner, whose aircraft lost a wing. Brown baled out but Tanner crashed, strapped in his aircraft and was also killed.
