The aircraft was on ferry flight from St Eval in Cornwall back to Thornaby. At about 11:30 the aircraft crashed on Pamperdale Moor and burned out.

Thomas Joseph McHugh was posted as missing in action on the 6th August 1941 still serving with 220 Sqn. The aircraft he was a crewman on, Hudson Mk.V AM583 NR-F, failed to return from a Bert Patrol having possibly been claimed by Lt Jakobi.

 

At the site where the aircraft burned out there are still many fragments of burnt aluminium lying on the ground.
