The pilot was on a training flight from RAF Woodvale near Southport when he suffered from engines trouble and attempted to force land but the aircraft crashed during the attempt and Sgt Kowalski was killed.

The field that the aircraft crashed in was later used as a temporary camp by US Army personnel and they left a large amount of detritus.
