BEVERLEY (QUEENSGATE) CEMETERY Block 73. Grave 2.
Halifax LL362 took off from Blyton at 10. 20 but was soon in trouble, the pilot remarking that his aierlons 'had gone'. The port outer engine began to overheat after which it became impossible to maintain height. Thus at 10.45 the bomber went through the tops of some trees and crashed at Swanland 6 miles WSW of Hull.
