Rain (and hail) curtains from last week's Tuesday chase. You can see how the outflow wind is blowing by observing how the curtains bend as the rain falls from the base of the storm to the ground. These curtains seem close, but they're actually several miles away; the cloud base is probably 4,000 feet high.

TO THE MEMORY OF THE
UNDERMENTIONED MEMBERS OF
753rd. SQUADRON 458th. BOMB GROUP
2nd. BOMBARDMENT DIVISION U.S.A.A.F.
WHO DIED NEAR THIS SPOT
24th. NOVEMBER 1944
THE PILOT OF THE BOMBER AS HIS
LAST ACT AVOIDED CRASHING ON
THIS AND SURROUNDING COTTAGES
THUS PREVENTING THE POSSIBLE
LOSS OF CIVILLIAN LIVES
On 24th. November 1944, due to bad weather, the 458th. Bomb Group was stood down from combat operations, but a low-visibility flight training mission was scheduled.
Tasked to fly on the mission was the Consolidated B-24H-25-FO Liberator, serial number 42-95133, coded 4J-K, and nicknamed 'Lady Jane'. Normally the bomber had a crew of 10 but for this flight had 9, and of those only 8 were regular crew. Pilot, 1st. Lt. Burton W. Wheeler was on compassionate leave at another airfield seeking information about his brother who was killed in action over Germany on 17th. October 1944. His place was taken by 2nd. Lt. Arthur Akin, a lead pilot for another 753rd. BS crew, which were not participating in the training mission, so he volunteering to fly as co-pilot for his friend, 2nd. Lt. Ralph Dooley. The two had known each other during training in the States, and both of their crew's had been assigned to the 753rd. BS on the same day
Regular Bombardier John Kowalczuk had been removed from the crew to undergo Lead Bombardier training elsewhere.
The flight training had passed without incident and the bomber was heading back to RAF Horsham St. Faith (USAAF Station 123) to make an 'instrument landing' before it got too dark. The weather had not improved and the cloud base height was ranging from 400 to 600 feet, but in some places it was as low as 200 feet, particularly over the valley of the River Wensum. Visibility was down to two miles or less.
The bomber were directed by the control tower to land on the runway designated 35/17, which was specifically set up for instrument landings. Runway 35 was pointing in a NNW direction meaning that the bomber would have been approaching from the south, descending over Heigham and the Wensum Valley, across Mile Cross and then increasingly low over Hellesdon, roughly following the line of Cromer Road as it heads north out of Norwich.
As Dooley made his final approach it quickly became apparent that he had overshot his touchdown and needed to abort the landing and pull up for a 'go-around' which was not an uncommon occurrence. Dooley lifted his plane off the runway and climbed up to a safe altitude before banking away. He would have to fly another circuit around Norwich to line up his landing from the south. This is where it all went wrong.
Lined up for its second approach the bomber was far too low. As the Liberator headed in a northerly direction, heading across Earlham Road and along Heigham Road, the tall, Victorian tower of St. Philips Church on Hamm Road appeared out of the murky sky. There was little time for Dooley to react and the bomber clipping the top of the tower, tearing off a large section of the wing as well as part of the right rear stabiliser and rudder. Dooley attempted to regain altitude and steered his stricken aircraft as best as he could towards the only part of the city that he could see in his path that was free of houses, the coal yards and railway sidings of Norwich City Station.
As the bomber approached the railway sidings it rolled away to it’s damaged right wing, skimming the rooftops of the terraced houses along Heigham Street as it rapidly lost what little altitude it had regained after clipping the church. The plane came down between the piles of coal on the Barker Street Siding, hitting the ground almost inverted and bursting into flames. There were no survivors among the crew, although it was
stating that three of the crew were alive after the crash, but tragically they burned to death. There were no casualties on the ground.
The closest eyewitnesses to the crash was 1st. Lt. Cliff D. Gersbach, Supply Officer, 752nd. Squadron, who stated,
"I was standing at the corner of Earlham and Mill Hill Road, Norwich, 24 November 1944 at approximately 1700 hours when B-24H Airplane No. 42-95133 made a 180 degree left turn in a vertical bank almost overhead. The airplane was flying about 200 feet above the housetops and I noticed that it was losing altitude. The turn was so sharp that the wings were vertical to the ground. The airplane started to level out from the turn and disappeared from sight for a moment, by that time it was skimming the housetops, when I heard a sharp crash, which was reported by an RAF Sergeant to be caused when the right wing of the airplane hit the top of the tower on St. Phillip's Church. After hitting the church, the airplane reappeared in a steep climb gaining about 300 feet altitude when it fell off on the right wing, crashed and burned".
Another witness, 1st. Lt. Joseph S. Williams, saw the accident from a slightly higher view point. He spotted an aircraft in a 90 degree left bank at an altitude of approximately 200 to 250 feet. He mentioned that the aircraft looked undamaged and in good shape with all engines running and with the landing gear up. The aircraft was losing altitude in the bank and that the turn appeared to have been a long one and not short or abrupt. He went on to mention that the mist and fog was very bad at the time and the ceiling was not more than 250 to 300 feet, with 'clouds' of fog and mist rolling across the river toward Mill Hill Road.
The aircraft levelled out of the vertical bank and disappeared from view when he heard a crash. Seconds later he saw the aircraft, apparently under control, climbing gently with a slight incline to the right before suddenly banking right and crashing into the ground towards the river. His report then states that there was no obvious damage to the aircraft from his vantage point, although the fog and mist were quite heavy.
Williams went to the scene of the first crash and heard and found that the aircraft had hit the steeple of the St. Phillips Church. Here he found the upper panel of the right wing tip, about 10 to 15 feet long, and the right rudder. Some pieces of the plane’s wing were still on the church roof. It appeared that the wing had hit the church only about 4 to 5 feet from the top of the steeple, which was about 60 feet high. Williams then went on to the scene of the final crash site at City Station and noted that aircraft hit the ground in a vertical bank and had somehow managed to not damage any property on the nearby Heigham Street.
A third witness was Pilot, 2nd. Lt. Edwin J. Sealy who wrote,
“We had just broken into the clear after an instrument let down and had circled the town of Norwich once when we saw an aircraft approximately two miles in front of us apparently flying straight and level. The plane started a steep bank to the left and continued the bank onto its back. Then it dived into the ground and exploded immediately. I learned later that this A/C was 113-K of my own base.”
All three accounts vary, but it appears the bomber was in good working order but flying too low, and was unlucky enough to just clip the only tall building in the area.
The official accident report charges Dooley with the accident and simply recommended that “Pilots of this station be reminded of the necessity of their meeting satisfactory instrument flying qualifications“.

The nine crew were buried with full military honours in England on 28th. November 1944. Some were later reinterned in the United States.
This memorial plaque was designed by Mr. C.W. Hobbis. It was mounted close to the crash site on 196 Heigham Street, a cottage occupied at the time by Mr. A.G. Jermy. The plaque was unveiled in the presence of Brigadier General Emil Charles Kiel, who served as Deputy Commander of the American 8th. Air Force under Lt. General James Harold 'Jimmy' Doolittle, and the Lord Mayor of Norwich, Edward Frank Williamson.
In 1972, when the area around 196 Heigham Street was demolished and redeveloped into the City Trading Estate, the plaque was relocated to newly built flats on the south side of Heigham Street.
Inside St. Barnabas, the church closest to the crash site, a panel commemorated the crew of 'Lady Jane'.

The plan was to camp overnight on the Cuillin outlier Marsco, and to shoot an image of the main ridge at sunrise. Progress uphill was slow and an hour or so from the top a cloud base began form up above me. Frustrated, I debated whether to continue or retreat but as I was nearer the top than the bottom, I decided to continue. To my delight, within half and hour I had passed through the cloud and now looked down upon it. For once the elements seemed to be working in my favour and this lighter cloud filled an otherwise dark Glen Sligachan below and gave me an image that I hadn’t been anticipating. By dawn, it was raining heavily and gusting and my pre-visualised image of the Ridge was put on hold.

Alan Peters, Flight Sergeant Navigator
Henley-on Thames,
Oxon.
23rd April 1995.
As I was a very young Flight Sergeant Navigator (W), I had my 21st birthday at Banff in September 1944, my memories are somewhat clouded after more than 50 years ago but here goes.
My pilot (W 0 Compton DFC) and I arrived at Banff from Portreath in Cornwall, after more than forty operations over France and the Bay of Biscay, on the 9th of September 1944. As part of the Squadrons above party we had a somewhat mixed reaction from the Flying Training Command who were in occupation of the airfield and did not know in advance of our arrival. After sorting out our Billets (nissen huts) and Squadron Offices (wooden huts) we settled in and flew an air test on Mosquito MRK VI "F" on the 12th of September. During this air test we took the opportunity to familiarise ourselves with the local area. On the morning of the 13th of September the "May Fly" list for the 14th September was put up in the Sergeants Mess. As our names were on the list with "F" we had a quiet night and were awakened at 04.30 am by the "Despatching Sergeant" (an NCO detailed to make sure that crews due to fly on operations would report for briefing at the appropriate time). A quick breakfast of egg and bacon in the Mess and then we caught the crew transport (a three ton lorry with a canvas top) to the Operations Building there we checked that our names were on the "Battle Order" which confirmed which crews were to go on the operation. Briefing followed mainly by the 248 Squadron C/O (W/C Bill Sise). This gave us details of the formation, in this case 20 Mosquito MRK VI, we were to the right located in the formation of 3 aircraft to the leader (WIC Sise). Our role was initially to be anti-flak (using our four 20mm cannon and eight rocket projectiles) and if time permitted to drop four 5001b bombs. I drew the appropriate maps and charts (target area Egero-Hombersund) and after drawing up my flight plan checked my figures with the Squadron Navigators Leaders (Ray Price - Bill Sise’s navigator). My maps included a Mercutor Chart (for navigation) and Topographical Maps of Scotland and Norway (scale 1:500,000) and most useful of all a Norwegian lighthouse chart showing each individual lighthouse in detail. Further briefing from the Met Officer (reasonable forecaster) giving low level winds and cloud base etc. Then the Intelligence Officer spoke of German aircraft known to be in the area, mainly FW 190’s and the report of the Norwegian crew of 333 Squadron that had just left the Norwegian coast after a pre-dawn reconnaissance of the target area. They reported enemy shipping including a large MIV and Trawler type auxiliary. After picking up our evasion packages (Norwegian currency, local maps, button compasses etc) we set off to collect our parachutes, dinghies and cameras (hand held 5" by 4" F24 or Vi .20) and so out to the aircraft at dispersal’s. After stowing our parachutes, dinghy’s, and navigation bag I checked that I had a list of all the call signs and radio frequencies, we then clambered aboard and settled in the Mosquito. It was a typical De Havilland aircraft with very restricted space for the crews (e.g. Dove, Vampire, Venom and even the Comet). A green light (verey light) from the Control Tower was the signal to start the engines. After cockpit checks were complete we taxied out in turn (radio silence strictly maintained). As we lined up on the runway the armourers plugged in the rocket projectiles and we were ready to go.
A green light from the aldis lamp of the runway controller and we were rolling down the runway buffeted by the slipstream of the proceeding aircraft. After becoming airborne, wheels up and flaps retracted a gentle left turn to join up with the main formation at about 1500 feet. A wide circuit and then to the wing waggling of the leader we set course gradually losing height until by the time we were abeam Peterhead we levelled out at between 50 and 80 feet above the sea. This low-level was maintained until we sighted the Norwegian Coast. As soon as there was room in the main fuel tanks petrol was transferred from the wing tip drop tanks. This was essential as we intended to drop these wing tip drop tanks before any attack. Navigation consisted of checking the wind velocity (usually by drift and wind lanes) and sometimes by visual reference (usually Fair Isle or the Shetlands). After about two hours the Norwegian Coast appears as a blur on the horizon. Dawn is approaching and we identify our landfall, a slight alteration of course and we start to look for our target ships. Suddenly the R/T bursts into life - it is the leader.
"Target sighted - drop tanks away" then "Attack, Attack, Attack". We climb in formation to 1500 feet and turn in formation and line up for the attack. Our guns open up and the rockets whoosh away as the tracer bullets begin to concentrate on the target ship - bombs gone, bomb doors closed and we weave our way through the cotton wool clouds that are the bursting anti-aircraft shells. The target was a large Merchant Vessel and its escort of auxiliaries. We claim strikes but have no idea where our bombs have gone - a few photos as we pull over the target.
We turn and maintaining maximum boost head Westwards towards Scotland. About 100 miles West of Norway we reduce to normal cruising conditions and fly at a comfortable height of 300 - 400 feet. Back at Banff we await our turn to land. Several aircraft have damage and are given priority to land. Back to the Operations building for de-briefing. As it was my birthday I am given an extra tot of rum. Then off for a post-operational meal at the aircrew mess (both Officers and NCO’s). This time steak and chips and free drinks courtesy of Group Captain Max Aitken and his wife, then to bed.
