G-AJZY Halifax LAC 8th March 1951

The attached appears to be a summary of the official accident report, note misspelling of Bovingdon.
This accident occurred in an area of The Chiltern Hills between Great and Little Missenden where the land rises from the Misbourne Valley to a height of between 500 and 600 feet amsl. There is no indication of time but perhaps one could guess that the crash happened in the evening. Note the traces of snow.

Bucks Examiner 7 September 1951. Source BNA.

Here is a clipping which dates from a couple of weeks before the accident. 21 February 1951 (Manchester Evening News BNA).
