In the late afternoon of Tuesday 11th November, Sgt Pilot Keith Bryant was detailed to ferry X3135 over to Dunholme Lodge. The pilot took along 2 members of the ground crew, LAC Andrew Wilson and AC2 Walter Fulcher. The Hampden was seen to make a steep left hand turn before crashing into the ground at Hackthorn Hall, north east of Scampton aerodrome; tragically all onboard were killed.
