While being ferried from Andrew's Field in Essex to Langford Lodge in Northern Ireland the aircraft flew into Cronk ny Arrey Laa on the west coast of the Isle of Man just south of the summit of the hill, it broke up over a fairly wide area with some pieces being destroyed by fire.
Very little remains at the crash site today. Most has been covered by heather and grass, however this scar remains where one of the aircraft's wings burned. There are a number of small burnt fragments in amongst the exposed slate.
Of those who were killed in the crash three were later buried at Cambridge American Cemetery at Madingley near Cambridge.
1st Lieutenant Floyd E. Swain, Navigator.
