My records show the following;

RP323 Wellington T10 of 201 AFS from RAF Swinderby. Burst into flames over Saffron Walden, Essex and in the emergency landing that followed the aircraft hit a hay stack and came to rest in the middle of the main road to Thaxted near Newhouse Farm. The Wellington was burnt out and the road was closed for 10hrs.

I have often wondered if any pictures of the incident are out there. It would be interesting to see them if they are available.
